Hayes, United States Attorney for the Western District of Washington, and Kristin B. Johnson, Assistant United States Attorney for said District, pursuant to Local Rule 7(j) and 10(g), and hereby jointly stipulate and agree as follows:

WHEREAS the Court issued an Order on June 27, 2018, directing CBP and ICE to pay Agent Egbert attorney's fees in the amount of $10,444.00 and costs in the amount of $63.05, for a total award of $10,507.05. Dkt. 92. The Court ordered the government to pay the fees and costs no later than 30 days from the date of the Order. Id.

WHEREAS the government received approval from the Judgment Fund for payment of these fees and costs, and a claim form was submitted on July 6, 2018.

NOW THEREFORE, Agent Egbert, CBP, and ICE, through their respective counsel of record, do hereby stipulate and agree, and respectfully request, that the Court make and enter the following order:
