Plaintiff,

SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER RE
ATTORNEYS' FEES

JEFFREY LORONO, et al.,

Re: Dkt. No. 395

Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11
12

Plaintiff Paul Soares filed a motion to reconsider my award of attorneys’ fees to defendant

13

Salinas Valley Roofing, which I denied. See Order (Dkt. No. 394). In that Order I stated that

14

defendants were entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in defending the motion to

15

reconsider.

16

Defendants have submitted a request for $3,755.00, reflecting 4.1 hours that attorney

17

David Hollingsworth spent defending the motion, at an hourly rate of $400.00 per hour, Dkt. No.

18

395, and 14.1 hours spent by his paralegal at an hourly rate of $150.00 per hour. Dkt. No. 395-2.

19

Soares did not file any response to this motion, although I permitted him to file any

20

opposition by July 3, 2015. Order at 5. As discussed in my Order Awarding Attorneys’ Fees,

21

counsel’s hourly rates are reasonable. Dkt. No. 382 at 3. The hours spent are also reasonable.

22

Accordingly, I award defendants an additional $3,755.00 in attorneys’ fees.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
