Roskovensky v. Sanibel Captiva Island Vacation Rentals, LLC

2 Citing cases

  1. Jenkinson v. Experian, Info. Sols.

    5:23-cv-579-JSM-PRL (M.D. Fla. Dec. 3, 2024)

    Given that Defendant failed to provide any detail, explanation, or evidentiary support for the hourly rate it seeks, the Court is not persuaded that a $325 hourly rate is justified for a routine unopposed motion to compel that could have been prepared by a first-year associate. See Pruco Life Ins. Co., 2024 WL 1417406, at *1-2 (reducing hourly rate to $300 where there was no detail or explanation for the requested rate on a routine motion to compel); Roskovensky v. Sanibel Captiva Island Vacation Rentals, LLC, No. 2:22-cv-602-JLB-NPM, 2024 WL 474123, at *1-2 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 7, 2024) (reducing hourly rate to $250 for a routine motion to compel); see also Singh v. Orlando Health, Inc., No. 6:22-CV-1365-RBD-EJK, 2023 WL 4052270, at *1 (M.D. Fla. June 16, 2023) (approving an hourly rate of $300 per hour on a motion to compel for a principal attorney with 15 years of experience).

  2. Pruco Life Ins. Co. v. Howen

    2:23-cv-54-SPC-NPM (M.D. Fla. Apr. 2, 2024)   Cited 2 times
    Reducing hourly rate from $400 to $300 where there was neither detail nor explanation for the rate and “routine motion to compel . . . could have easily been prepared by a first-year associate”

    But without any detail or explanation for such a rate in his declaration, the court is not persuaded that a $400 hourly rate is justified for a routine motion to compel that could have easily been prepared by a first-year associate. Roskovensky v. Sanibel Captiva Island Vacation Rentals, LLC, No. 2:22-cv-602-JLB-NPM, 2024 WL 474123, *1 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 7, 2024); see also Tri-City R.R. Co., LLC v. Preferred Freezer Servs. of Richland, LLC, No. 2:19-cv-00045-SAB, 2020 WL 3620225, *2 (E.D. Wash. Mar. 19, 2020) (finding it clear that defendant's fee was not reasonable given the routine nature of the motion to compel). The motion to compel contained no novel legal theories or difficult factual issues.
