Magistrate Judge Kathleen M. Tafoya
AMENDED ORDER
This matter is before the court on the March 20, 2013 "Special Master's Statement of Fees." (Doc. No. 588, filed March 27, 2013.) The court previously required Plaintiffs and Defendants to each place $5,000 in the Registry of the Court. (See Order Appointing Special Master, Doc. No. 515, at 4.) These payments were made on January 25 and January 30, 2013, respectively. (See Doc. Nos. 524 & 532.)
Based on Special Master William A. Martinez's Statement and the invoices attached thereto, it is
ORDERED that the Registry of the Court shall disburse the entire amount of $10,000, plus any interest less any registry fees, being held by the Registry of the Court to William A. Martinez for his services as Special Master in this case. It is further
ORDERED that, no later than April 10, 2013, Plaintiffs and Defendants each shall pay Special Master Martinez $1,258.75, the combined total of those payments constituting the $2517.50 in excess of the $10,000 held in the Court Registry. Special Master Martinez's contact information is featured in the Order Appointing Special Master. (Doc. No. 515 at 2.) It is further
ORDERED that the court will not require at this time that the parties place additional funds in the Court Registry. Instead, upon future statements of services and charges filed by Special Master Martinez, the court will order the parties to remit payment to Special Master Martinez directly.
BY THE COURT:
