December 9, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 23 ORDER GRANTING JOINT STIPULATION REGARDING ATTORNEYS' COSTS AND EXPENSES IN BAGWELL V. FORD AND FORT V. FORD by Judge Andre Birotte Jr.: The Court has reviewed the parties' Stipulation (filed in 2:18-ml-02814, dkt no. 1207) concerning their dispute over the application of the portion of the Court's Order awarding Plaintiffs costs for their attorneys' fees expert, Jerome Studer (filed in 2:18-ml-02814, dkt no. 1187).
