Opinion
No. C 11-02575 WHA
03-13-2013
LISA GARVEY, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. KMART CORPORATION, Defendant.
REQUEST FOR FURTHER
SWORN STATEMENT
REGARDING COST MOTION
In the experience of the Court, plaintiffs in the position of Lisa Garvey often have understandings with and/or undertakings by others, like their counsel or financial backers of litigation, to be held harmless from all or some court costs (even though they are legally responsible for them). By NOON ON M ARCH 22, plaintiff must file and serve her own declaration and counsel must do likewise stating in detail the full extent to which any such understanding or undertaking exists or is expected to be available to pay court costs. In the Court's view, this financial arrangement would not be prohibited from disclosure by any privilege. If anyone believes otherwise, it can be briefed on the same schedule.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
