This matter is before the Court on Defendant’s Request for Sanctions in the Form of
Attorney’s Fees and Costs related to Defendant’s Motion for Sanctions (#24).
Defendant's Motion for Sanctions (#24) was granted in part by the Court. See, Order

19

(#41). On November 26, 2012, the Court held a hearing on Defendant's request for the

20

reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred in bringing the Motion (#24).Pursuant to

21

the Affidavit of Josh Cole Aicklen, Esq. (#43), the Defendant seeks $10,032.00 in attorneys' fees

22

for 60.8 hours related to preparing and presenting Defendant's Motion (#24) and an additional

23

$5,850.00 for retaining a rebuttal expert and expert report, for a total of $15,882.00. The

24

Defendant does not provide any details regarding when the hours were worked or what work was

25

done during any specified dates. The Affidavit of Josh Cole Aicklen, Esq. of Lewis Brisbois

26

Bisgaard & Smith, is wholly inadequate under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the law

27

of this circuit. Good cause appearing therefore,
