ORDER

This matter is before the Court upon the Plaintiff’s Motion for Additional Relief. A jury
trial in this case was held by the Honorable Richard Voorhees in May of 2017, at which the jury
found for the Plaintiff on her hostile work environment claim only and awarded her $10,000.
Plaintiff thereafter sought attorneys’ fees and costs and, in addition, filed the present Motion for
Additional Relief. Judge Voorhees entered an Order granting Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorneys’
Fees and Costs with modification. Judge Voorhees did not address Plaintiff’s Motion for
Additional Relief.
This matter was subsequently transferred to the undersigned upon the retirement of Judge
Voorhees. The issues raised in this motion require the Court to review a transcript of the trial.
As the movant, Plaintiff is directed to order a transcript of the trial forthwith. The Defendant
must thereafter secure a copy of the transcript from the court reporter. Within 20 days of her
receipt of the transcript, Plaintiff is directed to resubmit her brief in support of her Motion for
Additional Relief, citing to the trial transcript to support her arguments, and attaching the
relevant portions of the trial transcript. Defendant shall then have 14 days to submit an amended

response brief in a similar manner, with citations to the record. Plaintiff may thereafter submit
an amended Reply within seven days.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
