1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA SAN JOSE DIVISION In re Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., Securities Litigation NO. C 08-00832 JW ORDER REQUESTING SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING; CONTINUING FAIRNESS HEARING ON ATTORNEY FEE APPLICATION / Presently before the Court is Lead Plaintiffs' Notice of Motion and Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Reimbursement of Litigation Expenses. (hereafter, "Application," Docket Item No. 278.) Upon review, the Court finds the Application insufficient in light of Mercury.1 The Court reads Mercury to require that a fee application must include details with respect to the specific work done by counsel, namely, what work was done, how much time the work consumed and whether the work contributed to the benefit of the class. Id. Here, other than providing a list of counsel and their hourly rates, Plaintiffs' Application fails to provide any details as to the nature of each counsel's work or any other information which would satisfy the minimal requirements of an attorney fee application under Mercury. Accordingly, on or before October 22, 2010, Plaintiffs shall file a Supplemental Brief with supporting declarations detailing the specific work undertaken for the hours reported and how that work served to benefit the class. Objectors may file a Response to the Supplemental Brief, if any, on or before October 26, 2010.
