The parties completed their meet and confer on September 26, 2008, and reached an agreement, as reflected in Exhibit A. Defendants do not dispute the balance of $779,214.44 in fees and expenses for monitoring and fee collection activities in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Adult Operations and Adult Programs (hereafter CDCR/AOAP)1 portion of the case for the Second Quarterly Statement for 2008, which will become due and owing forty-five days from the entry of this Order.
