March 1, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 178 ORDER signed by Judge Pamela Pepper on 3/1/2018. By end of day 3/16/2018 Armor Correctional defendants to file second supplemental declaration that includes (1) statement of hourly rates of attorneys and (2) hours expended on each line item. Failure to comply may result in the court declining to include sums Armor Correctional defendants request in award of sanctions. (cc: all counsel)(cb)
February 5, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 154 ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge William E Duffin on 2/5/18. Although the motion to compel (ECF No. 149 ) is granted as unopposed, the court finds that under Rule 37(a)(5)(i) and (iii) the plaintiffs are not entitled to any costs incurred in bring ing this motion. In fact, by seeking costs the plaintiffs needlessly caused the County defendants to have to respond to the motion to compel. As a result, the court finds that there is cause to conclude that the plaintiffs violated Federal Rule of C ivil Procedure 11(b)(1); see also 28 U.S.C. § 1927 (Counsel's liability for excessive costs). Therefore, not later than February 7, 2018, the plaintiffs shall show cause why sanctions--likely in the form of any costs the County defendants incurred in having to respond to the plaintiffs' demand for cost--should not be imposed for their demand for costs associated with filing an unopposed motion to compel. (cc: all counsel) (mlm)
December 11, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 116 ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge William E Duffin on 12/11/17 DENYING plaintiffs' Motion to Compel. (ECF No. 101 .) (See Order for details.) (cc: all counsel) (mlm)
