ORDER
This matter is before the court on the April 14, 2013 "Special Master's Statement of Fees." (Doc. No. 617, filed April 19, 2013.) The invoices attached to the Special Master's Statement indicate an outstanding balance for services rendered of $14,560.50. Based on the Special Master's Statement and the invoices attached thereto, it is
The Special Master's invoices state an amount due of $24,560.50. However, that amount includes the $10,000 that the court previously ordered disbursed from the Registry of the Court because the Special Master had not yet received that payment at the time the invoice was created. The Special Master has since advised the court that he has now received that $10,000 payment from the Court Registry.
ORDERED that, no later than May 3, 2013, Plaintiffs shall pay Special Master William A. Martinez $7,293.75 and Defendants shall pay Special Master Martinez $7,266.75, such that the combined total of those payments equal the $14,560.50 outstanding balance.
There is a disparity between the payments required of Plaintiffs and Defendants because Defendants mistakenly transposed two digits of the amount previously due to the Special Master, resulting in a $27.00 overpayment. (See Special Master Stmt.) Thus, the payment Defendants are required to make credits Defendants for the prior overpayment.
