STIPULATION
Plaintiffs Tamares Las Vegas Properties, LLC; Plaza Hotel & Casino, LLC; and T-UPR, LLC (collectively “Plaintiffs”), through the law firm of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, and The Travelers Indemnity Company (“Travelers”), through the law firms Clyde & Co LLP and Robinson & Cole LLP (Plaintiffs together with Travelers, the “Parties”) hereby agree and stipulate as follows:
1. Travelers intends to file a Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Costs pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(d) (“Travelers' Motion”) on November 30, 2022. See ECF No. 262.
2. Travelers has indicated that its Motion will seek attorneys' fees pursuant to two statutes (NRS 18.010 and 28 U.S.C. § 1927), the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as the Court's inherent authority.
3. Each of these legal grounds presents differing standards for seeking an award of fees, and Travelers' Motion and Plaintiffs' Opposition will necessarily include a significant discussion of the underlying facts and procedural history of this matter, including certain pre-suit activity, pretrial discovery practice, motion practice, the trial, and information gathered during recent post-trial discovery.
4. Additionally, and pursuant to Local Rule 54-14, Travelers' Motion and Plaintiffs' Opposition will address Travelers' request for attorneys' fees with thirteen categories of information, which includes a discussion of the fees and costs that Travelers has incurred throughout the lifetime of this matter.
5. The Parties agree that there is good cause for increasing the page limits of their submissions in that the aforementioned subjects cannot be adequately addressed within the page limits prescribed by the Local Rules.
6. In light of the foregoing, the Parties agree and stipulate as follows:
a. The page limits of LR II 7-3 shall be waived for the purposes of briefing of Travelers' Motion and Plaintiffs' Opposition;
b. Travelers' Motion shall be limited to 45 pages in length, excluding exhibits;
