Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 17-cv-687-DWD

DR. CASEY, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
DUGAN, District Judge:
This matter is before the Court on the motion for out-of-pocket expenses (Doc. 82)
filed by Attorney John R. Clemons. Attorney Clemons seeks reimbursement of $950.161
in expenses.
The Plan for Administration of the District Court Fund Section 2.6 authorizes any
District or Magistrate Judge to approve a request for up to $5,000 via signed Order. Here,
the undersigned finds the expenses to be reasonable and thus GRANTS the motion
(Doc. 82). Pursuant to the Plan for the Administration of the District Court Fund, the

The Court notes that Mr. Clemons initially seeks reimbursement in the amount of $950.16 (Doc. 82, p. 1).
At the conclusion of his pleading, however, Mr. Clemons seeks reimbursement in the amount of $964.96
(Doc. 82, p. 2). The latter appears to be a typographical error. The receipts attached to the pleading support
Mr. Clemons request for reimbursement in the amount of $950.16.
