DECISION DENYING MOTION FOR INTERIM FEES AND COSTS
THOMAS L. GOWEN, Special Master.
On September 11, 2018, petitioner filed a motion for interim attorneys' fees and costs, after the parties had agreed to a tentative settlement and while the parties were in the 15-week stipulation process. Motion for Interim Attorney's Fees and Costs, ECF No. 71.
On October 29, 2018, I issued a decision on stipulation awarding petitioner compensation. Decision of Special Master on Stipulation, ECF No. 75.
As petitioner's motion for interim fees and costs was filed during the 15-week stipulation process and the entitlement portion of the case has since concluded, it is more appropriate for petitioner to request reimbursement as a final motion for interim fees and costs.
Accordingly, petitioner's Motion for Interim Attorney's Fees and Costs is DENIED with leave to file a final motion for attorneys' fees and costs.
Any questions about this Order or other aspects of this case may be directed to my law clerk, Kathryn Le, at (202) 357-6361 or kathryn_le@cfc.uscourts.gov.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
