KELLY NUANES,
Plaintiff,
v.
NATIONS RECOVERY CENTER, INC.,
Defendant.
_____________________________________________________________________
ORDER AWARDING ATTORNEY’S FEES
_____________________________________________________________________
Pursuant to an Order of Reference, United States Magistrate Judge Kathleen M.
Tafoya on February 21, 2013, filed a recommendation for an award of attorney’s fees of
$2,900.00 for 11.6 hours of services at an hourly rate of $250.00 per hour. The
Magistrate Judge recommended denial of the supplemental motion, seeking 3.9 hours
of service in litigating the dispute concerning attorneys fees generated by defendant’s
response to the plaintiff’s motion for fees. On March 7, 2013, the plaintiff filed
objections to the recommendation pursuant to Fed.Civ.P. 72(b)(2), objecting only to the
denial of supplemental fees which now seeks the addition of 3.9 hours at $250.00 per
hour for a total of $975.00. The Magistrate Judge recommended denial of the
supplemental motion on the ground that the plaintiff was not successful in the dispute.
Compared to the defendant’s response, the plaintiff was successful even though the
hourly rate and number of hours were not allowed as claimed. It is now
ORDERED that the award of $2,900.00 recommended by the Magistrate Judge
is increased by $975.00, based on the hourly rate of $250.00 for 8.9 hours in the fee
contest. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that the Clerk shall enter an addition to the judgment of June 21,
2012, of $3,875.00 as attorney’s fees to the plaintiff.
DATED: March 12th, 2013
BY THE COURT:
s/Richard P. Matsch
