ORDER
By Order (# 239) dated September 12, 2011, the court determined that the plaintiff was
entitled to an award of attorney fees and expenses for prosecuting two motions to quash
subpoenas that were issued by the defendants and their counsel in violation of the discovery
cutoff. On September 14, counsel for the plaintiff filed an Affidavit (# 252) seeking $1,190.00
for 6.8 hours of attorney time at the rate of $175.00 an hour. Neither the defendants nor their
counsel filed a response within the time allowed by the September 12 Order. The court has
reviewed counsel’s Affidavit and is of the opinion that the total amount of fees requested is
reasonable.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the defendants and their counsel are jointly and
severally liable for the payment of $1,190.00 to plaintiff’s counsel for the benefit of the plaintiff.
This amount shall be paid to plaintiff’s counsel within fourteen (14) days of this date.
This 28th day of September, 2011.
