Currently pending before the Court is M&G's motion for enforcement of settlement and motion for attorney's fees and costs, as well as Defendants' request for interpleader. The Court took the motions under submission on March 9, 2010. The Court had ordered additional briefing to be filed on March 2, 2010, and March 8, 2010. Only Plaintiffs filed additional briefing on March 8. No party filed anything on March 2, 2010. On March 10, 2010, Defendants filed late briefing. Defendants assumed that the additional briefing was moot because they had sent a check for $41,000 to M&G, as required by the settlement agreement.1 Defendants state that on March 9, 2010, they received a demand from M&G's counsel for $5,000 for attorney's fees and costs. Defendants have rejected that offer.
