This cause is before the court upon the Plaintiffs’ Notice Regarding Appellate
Attorney’s Fees (doc. 345), which is construed as a motion for extension of time to file a
motion for reasonable appellate attorney’s fees. Also pending is Plaintiffs’ Third Agreed

parties have agreed to a reasonable attorney fee award of $22,000.00 for the work
performed in the fee entitlement appeal.
