Presently before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment.1 In both its Complaint

16

and its Motion for Default Judgment, Plaintiff requests attorney fees and costs.2 Upon review,

17

however, the Court finds that Plaintiff has failed to provide an accounting of attorney fees or costs in

18

any of its filings, frustrating the Court’s efforts at evaluating its request for attorney fees and costs.3

19

Accordingly, on or before October 13, 2011 at noon, Plaintiff shall file a supplemental

20

declaration providing a detailed accounting of its request for attorney fees and costs. Failure to

(See Complaint at 9-10, Docket Item No. 1; Application at 10.)

The Court observes that Plaintiff’s counsel has failed to provide any accounting of his
requests for attorney fees and costs in similar cases. (See, e.g., Order Requiring Supplemental
Evidence re. Request for Fees and Costs, Docket Item No. 18 in No. C 10-2558-JW.) As the Court
has reminded Plaintiff’s counsel on multiple occasions, failure to provide an accounting of attorney
fees and costs will result in a waiver of his request for said fees and costs. Further, the Court
admonishes Plaintiff’s counsel that his repeated failure to provide an accounting of his requests for
fees and costs, thereby requiring the Court to issue supplemental orders such as this one, is a waste
of judicial resources.

1

timely filed the required accounting shall be deemed a waiver of Plaintiff’s request for fees and

2

costs.
