IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO WESTERN DIVISION AT DAYTON
MD ELTON R. KERR, Plaintiff, -vs: MD WILLIAM W. HURD, et al., Defendants. : Case No. 3:07-cv-297 Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz

DECISION AND ORDER

This case is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Order Payment of Expert Witness Fees (Doc. No. 69). Having examined the motion papers and particularly Mr. Stover's Affidavit (Doc. No. 91), the Court finds the Motion well taken. The hourly fee which a witness regularly charges his clients is presumptively reasonable and the witness here sets forth the amount of time expended and explains why it was reasonable. Defendant Wright State Physicians is ordered to pay Mr. Stover's fee in the amount of $2,424.00. August 4, 2009.
s/ Michael R. Merz United States Magistrate Judge
