Friedland has submitted his request for attorney fees. ECF No. 152. The request is supported by the declaration of Ty Gee, one of Defendant Friedland's attorneys, and the affidavit of Roger P. Thomasch, opining as to the reasonableness of the fee request. Although allowed pursuant to my September 30, 2009 order, Plaintiffs have not responded or objected to the request by Defendant Friedland for payment of $11,432.50.

See affidavit of Michael H. Berger, ECF NO. 162-2 at p. 6. Accordingly, and being sufficiently advised in the premises, Defendant's request, ECF No. 152, is granted and judgment shall enter in Robert M. Friedland's favor and against Plaintiff Jack J.
