On April 20, 2015, Plaintiff accepted Defendants’ Rule 68 Offer of Judgment in the

14

amount of “Thirty Thousand and One Dollars ($30,001.00), which sum ‘shall include Plaintiff’s

15

attorney fees and costs of suit now accrued.’” (Pl.’s Acceptance, Dkt. No. 24.)

16

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68(a), “a party defending against a claim may

17

serve on an opposing party an offer to allow judgment on specified terms, with the costs then

18

accrued.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 68. If the opposing party accepts the offer, “[t]he clerk must then enter

19

judgment.” Id.

20

Accordingly, since Plaintiff has explicitly accepted Defendants’ offer of $30,001.00, which

21

includes all attorneys’ fees and costs now accrued, the Clerk is directed to enter judgment and

22

close the case.
