ORDER DIRECTING SUPPLEMENTAL SUBMISSION ON MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS' FEES
Re: Dkt. No. 50
HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR., District Judge.
Plaintiff's counsel is directed to submit a supplemental declaration providing an explanation for its requested multiplier of 1.32 in its motion for attorneys' fees. See Dkt. No. 50 at 8 ("The multiplier necessary to reach the total requested compensation is approximately 1.31[9.]"). Pursuant to the Ninth Circuit's guidance in Stetson v. Grissom, plaintiff's counsel should either explain why the Stetson factors are satisfied in this case, or why a risk multiplier is warranted in the absence of those factors. See Stetson, 821 F.3d 1157, 1166 (9th Cir. 2016) ("The district court must apply a risk multiplier to the lodestar `when (1) attorneys take a case with the expectation they will receive a risk enhancement if they prevail, (2) their hourly rate does not reflect that risk, and (3) there is evidence the case was risky.'"). The supplemental declaration must be submitted by May 24, 2018.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
