23		23 2 pgs order Order Attorney Fees Fri 12/10 1:41 PM ORDER GRANTING JOINT STIPULATION REGARDING ATTORNEYS' COSTS AND EXPENSES IN BAGWELL V. FORD AND FORT V. FORD by Judge Andre Birotte Jr.: The Court has reviewed the parties' Stipulation (filed in 2:18-ml-02814, dkt no. 1207) concerning their dispute over the application of the portion of the Court's Order awarding Plaintiffs costs for their attorneys' fees expert, Jerome Studer (filed in 2:18-ml-02814, dkt no. 1187). Mr. Studer opined about both case-specific and common work fees, so his expert fee should be apportioned among the IDP cases. Plaintiffs have also not proposed an alternative method of apportioning Studer's fee, so his fee shall be prorated by 1/30. Therefore, in the matter of Fort v. Ford (Case No. 2:17-cv-06631-AB-FFMx), Plaintiff shall receive $15,147.69 (comprised of $4,894.81 for "case-specific" costs and expenses, $90.67 in IDP "common work" attorney's fees, and $10,162.21 for IDP "common-work" costs and expenses) in costs and expenses. And, in the matter of Bagwell v. Ford (Case No. 2:17-cv-06632-AB-FFMx), Plaintiff shall receive $14,950.60 (comprised of $4,697.72 for "case-specific" costs and expenses, $90.67 in IDP "common work" attorney's fees, and $10,162.21 for IDP "commonwork" costs and expenses) in costs and expenses.
