STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME IN WHICH TO FILE
MOTION FOR FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES RELATED TO WORK BEFORE THREE-JUDGE COURT
AND SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Judge: Hon. Lawrence K. Karlton
1. On June 15, 2011, the Court granted an extension to the stay of all attorneys' fees, costs and expenses matters related to the Three-Judge Court, and related appeals, including the proceedings before the Supreme Court of the United States, ordering that Plaintiffs' application for fees, costs and expenses be submitted 60 days after August 26, 2011.
2. The parties continue to meet and confer regarding Plaintiffs' attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses. These fees, costs, and expenses are separate from those approved in the recent order issued by the court in Plata v. Brown. (See Coleman Docket No. 4094.) The purpose of this meet and confer process has been to exhaust any possibility of settling these matters, or of narrowing the disputes as much as possible. In order to allow that process to continue and, if possible, to succeed, the parties jointly request a further extension that provides additional time to meet and confer.
3. The parties therefore request that the Court extend the deadline for filing the fees and costs application for matters related to the Three-Judge Court, and related appeals, including the appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States to November 18, 2011. The parties agree that the hearing will not be noticed for December 9th or 16th, 2011.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER
Pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing, this Court extends the stay of all outstanding attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses matters related to the Three-Judge Court, and related appeals, including the proceedings before the Supreme Court of the United States. The unresolved fees, costs, and expenses related to these proceedings are separate from the fees, costs, and expenses that have been resolved by stipulation between the Prison Law Office and Defendants and the Plata v. Brown court's order. Plaintiffs shall submit their motion for fees, costs, and expenses on the aforementioned matter no later than November 18, 2011. For the duration of the stay, any and all deadlines relating to motions or claims for attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses contained in the Federal Civil Rules, the Federal Appellate Rules, the U.S. Supreme Court Rules, and/or the Local Rules for the Eastern District of California do not apply.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
LAWRENCE K. KARLTON
