STIPULATION TO EXTENSION OF TIME FOR ATTORNEYS' FEES, EXPENSES, AND COSTS; ORDER

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.

The parties hereby jointly request a 30-day extension, from April 3, 2018 to May 3, 2018, of the deadline to file any application concerning attorneys' fees, related nontaxable expenses, or costs.

The parties have previously requested three extensions, which the Court granted. The first was stipulated on May 6, 2015, requesting that any motion by any party for attorneys' fees, related nontaxable expenses, or costs in this action be filed within 30 days of the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the dismissal of the appeal for any reason, or the final judgment of this Court on remand, whichever is later. The Court granted that request on May 11, 2015. The second extension was stipulated on January 31, 2018, which the Court granted on February 6, 2018. The third extension was stipulated on March 2, 2018, which the Court granted on March 16, 2018.

The parties believe that the extension requested here will allow them to discuss settlement of the remaining attorneys' fees issues and thereby possibly avoid unnecessary further litigation.

ORDER

Upon the parties' stipulation and pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54, the deadline for the plaintiffs' motion for attorneys' fees, related nontaxable expenses, or costs in this action is hereby extended by 30 days to May 3, 2018.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
