ORDER

This matter is before the court on the April 14, 2013 “Special Master’s Statement of
Fees.” (Doc. No. 617, filed April 19, 2013.) The invoices attached to the Special Master’s

Statement indicate an outstanding balance for services rendered of $14,560.50.1 Based on the
Special Master’s Statement and the invoices attached thereto, it is
ORDERED that, no later than May 3, 2013, Plaintiffs shall pay Special Master William
A. Martinez $7,293.75 and Defendants shall pay Special Master Martinez $7,266.75,2 such that
the combined total of those payments equal the $14,560.50 outstanding balance.
Dated this 19th day of April, 2013.

1

The Special Master’s invoices state an amount due of $24,560.50. However, that
amount includes the $10,000 that the court previously ordered disbursed from the Registry of the
Court because the Special Master had not yet received that payment at the time the invoice was
created. The Special Master has since advised the court that he has now received that $10,000
payment from the Court Registry.
2

There is a disparity between the payments required of Plaintiffs and Defendants because
Defendants mistakenly transposed two digits of the amount previously due to the Special Master,
resulting in a $27.00 overpayment. (See Special Master Stmt.) Thus, the payment Defendants
are required to make credits Defendants for the prior overpayment.
