ORDER
PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.
This matter is before the court on the court's review of the Special Master's Order (Dkt #159) and invoice for services rendered in this matter.
On March 14, 2014, the court appointed Daniel Garrie as a Special Master in this matter to resolve the parties multiple ESI discovery disputes as outlined in their Joint Status Report (Dkt. #148). See Order (Dkt. #152). On April 8, 2014, Special Master Garrie served counsel for Plaintiffs and counsel for Defendant with a copy of his invoice for $85,158.76. Neither side has objected to the invoice, and the parties have exchanged a joint statement of non-objection which will be filed with the court. The Special Master has set a telephonic hearing on April 15, 2014, and additional in-court hearings or telephonic hearings with a court reporter present on April 22, 2014, and May 7, 2014, to complete his assigned duties. See Order (Dkt #159). The court will therefore require UMC to deposit additional funds to cover the invoice and ongoing future fees and costs.
Having reviewed and considered the matter,
IT IS ORDERED that UMC shall have until April 28, 2014, to deposit $100,000.00 with the Clerk of the Court, who shall place the funds in the Special Master's trust account pending authorized disbursement.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the Clerk of Court shall disburse $85,158.76 to Law & Forensics, Special Master Daniel Garrie, at the address in Order (Dkt # 152) as soon as the funds are deposited.
