On March 26, 1997, the District Court established procedures by which plaintiffs are to collect periodic attorneys' fees and costs in this case in connection with their work monitoring defendants' compliance with the Court's Orders and collecting fees. Pursuant to these procedures, plaintiffs delivered by overnight delivery their Fourth Quarterly Statement for 2008 to defendants on February 11, 2009. Defendants submitted their objections to plaintiffs' statement on March 20, 2009. The parties completed their meet and confer on April 6, 2009, and reached an agreement, as reflected in Exhibit A. Exhibit A also reflects the claimed fees and costs that remain in dispute.
