IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

ORDER
Plaintiff,
12-cv-72-bbc
v.
DEAN C. HENNING,
Defendant.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This court granted plaintiff Hillsboro Equipment, Inc.’s request for attorney fees and
costs in connection with an improper attempt by defendant Dean C. Henning to remove this
case from state court. Plaintiff was given an opportunity to file an affidavit of costs and fees,
which it did on August 2, 2012; dkt. #10, defendant had until August 21, 2012, in which
to file objections to the request, but the date passed without any filing.
From my review of the affidavit filed by plaintiff’s counsel, I am persuaded that
plaintiff’s request for fees should be granted. Plaintiff is asking for total fees of $955.50,
plus expenses for photocopying and postage of $6.90. The request is modest and amply
justified by the work required to defend against defendant’s effort to remove this case to
federal court.
