Case Number: 21STCV23352    Hearing Date: October 14, 2024    Dept: 57

Plaintiffs' motion for attorney's fees is granted in the main.  The Court is denying Plaintiffs' request for a multiplier of the amount of attorney's fees they are seeking.  The Court also is denying Plaintiffs' request for recovery of the amount of attorney's fees incurred in connection with a reply brief in support of the motion because no reply brief was filed.  The Court will discuss with counsel at the hearing the amount claimed for the reply brief.  The Court is granting the motion in all other respects.  The Court has reviewed the Defendant's  proposed reductions to the amount of attorney's fees Plaintiffs are seeking.  In the Court's view, none of those reductions is warranted.
