March 26, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 372 ORDER ON CONSOLIDATED APPLICATION FOR ATTORNEYS' FEES - The Consolidated Application seeks an award of $88,933.45. This amount is net of a $1,000.00 sanction the Court issued against the Britt Parties. The Court makes the following reductions of the amount sought: (1) $4,833.00 for fees not encompassed by the awards; (2) $5,980.50 for inefficiencies; (3) $1,923.50 for tasks that were essentially clerical in nature; and (4) $9,496.02 to account for some la ck of success on the Motion for Contempt. Therefore, the Consolidated Application for Attorneys' Fees (Filing No. 293 ) is GRANTED and the Court awards the Britt Parties an amended total award of $66,700.43. All Defendants except Janelle Morrison (who was not subject to the TRO) are jointly and severally liable for this amount. (See Order.) Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 3/26/2019. (NAD)
