Plaintiffs,

Case No.: 12-cv-03892- YGR
ORDER RE: PRE-FILING LETTERS

vs.
Re: Dkt. Nos. 167, 168, 171, 172
CITIBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND
CITIMORTGAGE, INC.,
Defendants.
Currently before the Court is Plaintiffs’ letter requesting a pre-filing conference to move

13

for the recovery of attorney’s fees under California Civil Code section 1021.5. (Dkt. No. 168.)

14

Defendants filed a letter to the Court in response. (Dkt. No. 171.) The Court does not consider

15

Plaintiffs’ proposed motion to be subject to the undersigned’s pre-filing requirement applicable

16

only to motions for summary judgment. A conference is therefore unnecessary and Plaintiffs may

17

file their proposed motion on thirty-five (35) days’ notice.

18

Also before the Court is Plaintiffs’ administrative motion to file their letter to the Court

19

partially under seal. (Dkt. No. 167.) Defendants, as the parties who designated the information as

20

confidential, timely responded with a more narrowly tailored request. (Dkt. No. 172.) Good

21

cause appearing, Plaintiffs’ motion is GRANTED with respect to redactions of information

22

previously sealed by the Court as identified by Defendants but is DENIED with respect to the

23

redactions quoting Pifko Declaration Exhibit No. 11. (See id.).

24

This Order terminates Docket Number 167.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
