ORDER DENYING APPLICATION FOR
ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS

13

On October 27, 2011, the Court issued an Order Granting Plaintiff Susan Goldman’s

14

Motion to Confirm Arbitration Award. ECF No. 41. The Order states that “By November 4, 2011,

15

Plaintiff shall file a declaration and supporting documentation setting forth Plaintiff’s reasonable

16

attorney’s fees and costs incurred in litigating this District Court action to confirm arbitration

17

award.” Id. at 5 (emphasis added). On November 2, 2011, Plaintiff’s counsel filed a Declaration

18

of Patrick P. Gunn in Support of Susan Goldman’s Application for Attorney’s Fees and Costs.

19

ECF No. 42. As Defendants pointed out in an objection, ECF No. 43, Plaintiff’s counsel did not

20

submit any supporting documentation as ordered by the Court. Without supporting documentation,

21

the Court cannot accurately determine whether the hours claimed were reasonably expended or if

22

the costs were actually incurred. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s application for attorney’s fees and costs

23

is hereby DENIED.

24
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
