March 13, 2015	Filing 9 ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PARTY DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO WITHDRAW THE REFERENCE signed by Judge Garland E. Burrell, Jr on 3/12/15. Cause has been shown to withdraw the reference only for the limited purpose of deciding how the attorne y's fees awarded in Hunter should be allocated amongst the plaintiffs. The Hunter jury awarded each plaintiff nominal damages, but found that Sacramento County had "a longstanding 'practice or custom'" of using excessive forc e against inmates that were incarcerated in Sacramento Mail Jail. (Jury Instruction No. 9, p. 10, ECF No. 183.) In light of this finding, each plaintiff is awarded $98,752.50, half of the $197,505.00 award, since the record does not evince that a different division is appropriate.Since the reference concerning other issues has not been withdrawn, this civil action shall be closed. (cc USBC) (Becknal, R)
