The court has reviewed the parties’ submissions regarding Defendant’s motion for sanctions.

[Docket Nos. 38, 39.] In his declaration, defense counsel summarizes the time for which Defendant

19

seeks reimbursement from Plaintiff and his counsel. (Atkinson Decl., Jan. 9, 2015, ¶ 89.) The court

20

orders Defendant to submit a more detailed accounting sufficient to support Defendant’s requested

21

award of reasonable attorney’s fees for the alleged discovery misconduct at issue in this motion,

22

such that the court may determine whether the time spent was “excessive, redundant, or otherwise

23

unnecessary.” Hensley v. Eckerhart , 461 U.S. 424, 434 (1983); see also N.D. Cal. Civ. L.R. 54-5.
