As part of her motion for attorney’s fees and sanctions, which was permitted by the order

20

dated March 7, 2014 (Dkt. No. 48), defense attorney Laura S. Flynn stated (Flynn Decl. ¶ 8)

21

(emphasis added):

However, as to the attorney’s fees motion, due to the press of
business and the limited time allowed to file the motion, I was
not able to meet and confer with plaintiff’s counsel regarding
the reasonable amount of attorney’s fees. I will contact
plaintiff’s counsel today and attempt to reach a compromise as
to the amount of attorney’s fees to be awarded. If an
agreement is reached, we will file a stipulation and related
proposed order with the court.
A hearing on Attorney Flynn’s motion is set for May 1, 2014. Accordingly, counsel for

27

both sides are requested to please file a response, either (1) providing an update as to whether

28

they “have met and conferred for the purpose of attempting to resolve any disputes with respect
to the motion,” or (2) if “no conference was held,” providing a statement “with certification that

1

the applying attorney made a good faith effort to arrange such a conference, setting forth the

2

reason the conference was not held.” Civ. L.R. 54-5(b)(1). Counsel will please file this

3

response by 5 PM ON APRIL 16, 2014.
