ORDER FOR SUPPLEMENTAL
BRIEFING RE REQUEST FOR
ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS

13
Pending before the Court is Plaintiff Prime 3 Group’s Motion for Default Judgment (Dkt. No.
14
19). In its Motion, Plaintiff has requested an award of attorneys’ fees and costs, as provided for in
15
the parties’ Agreement. In reviewing Plaintiff’s Motion and counsel’s declarations and billing
16
records, the Court is unable to determine whether Plaintiff is seeking to recover fees for all attorneys
17
who worked on this matter, or for only Mr. Hafter and Mr. King. Further, while Mr. Hafter sets forth
18
his hourly rate and the discounted rate he billed for work in this lawsuit, he does not specify what Mr.
19
King’s hourly rate (or discounted rate) is in this case. Accordingly, to enable the Court to assess the
20
reasonableness of counsel’s hourly rates and the time billed, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff’s counsel
21
to submit a supplemental declaration specifying each attorney’s billed hourly rate, the total time
22
billed for each attorney, and an itemization of fees and costs claimed. The supplemental declaration
23
shall be filed no later than June 28, 2013.
24
IT IS SO ORDERED.
