AND PLAINTIFF-INTERVENOR’S MOTION TO ENLARGE TIME
Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document730 Filed08/17/10 Page2 of 4

1 I, Enrique A. Monagas, declare as follows:

2 1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and in the United States

3 District Court for the Northern District of California. I am an associate at the law firm of Gibson,

4 Dunn & Crutcher LLP, counsel of record for Plaintiffs Kristin M. Perry, Sandra B. Stier, Paul T.

5 Katami, and Jeffrey J. Zarrillo (“Plaintiffs”). I make this declaration in support of Plaintiffs’ and

6 Plaintiff-Intervenor’s motion to enlarge time. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein,

7 and if called as a witness, I could and would competently testify hereto.

8 2. This Court entered its findings of fact and conclusions of law on August 4, Doc #708, and

9 entered a permanent injunction on August 12, Doc #728. Since that time, the parties have been

10 expeditiously briefing Defendant-Intervenors’ motion to stay this Court’s decision pending appeal.

11 3. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d)(2)(B)(i) provides prevailing parties with 14 days

12 after the entry of judgment in which to file a motion for attorney’s fees and related expenses. In a

13 case such as this one, however, where the parties expended significant resources on pre-trial motions,

14 discovery, a three-week trial, and post-trial briefing and argument, the preparation of a motion for

15 attorney’s fees and related expenses—and any opposition thereto—is likely to be unusually time-

16 consuming.

17 4. On August 16, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ordered that

18 Proponents’ appeal from this Court’s decision be expedited pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate

19 Procedure 2 and entered the following briefing schedule: the opening brief is due September 17,

20 2010; the answering brief is due October 18, 2010; and the reply brief is due November 1, 2010.

21 Under the current schedule, any motion for attorney’s fees and related expenses must be prepared and

22 submitted at the same time that the expedited appeal on the merits is proceeding.

23 5. Enlarging the time to file a motion for attorney’s fees and related expenses would enable

24 the parties to commit their full litigation resources to the appeal at this time and would allow any

25 motion for fees and related expenses to proceed only at such time as the prevailing party has been

26 finally determined. In short, enlarging the time to file a motion for attorney’s fees and related

27 expenses will not prejudice any party and will indeed avoid unnecessary burden to the parties and the

28 Court while the parties address the appeal on the merits and promote judicial economy.

AND PLAINTIFF-INTERVENOR’S MOTION TO ENLARGE TIME
Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document730 Filed08/17/10 Page3 of 4

1 6. Plaintiffs’ counsel contacted all parties involved in an attempt to obtain a stipulation to

2 enlarge time. Defendants Arnold Schwarzenegger, Edmund G. Brown, Jr., Mark B. Horton, Linette

3 Scott, Patrick O’Connell, and Dean C. Logan have all agreed to enlarging the time. Counsel for Hak-

4 Shing William Tam did not respond to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s inquiry. Only Defendant-Intervenors

5 Proposition 8 Official Proponents Dennis Hollingsworth, Gail J. Knight, Martin F. Gutierrez, and

6 Mark A. Jansson; and ProtectMarriage.com – Yes on 8, A Project of California Renewal

7 (“Defendant-Intervenors”) have not agreed to the extension.

8 7. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of an e-mail from Andrew W.

9 Stroud, counsel for Defendants Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mark B. Horton, and Linette

10 Scott, agreeing to a proposed stipulation extending the time to file a motion for attorney’s fees and

11 related expenses.

12 8. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of an e-mail from Tamar Pachter,

13 counsel for Defendant Attorney General Edmund G. Brown, Jr., agreeing to a proposed stipulation

14 extending the time to file a motion for attorney’s fees and related expenses.

15 9. Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a true and correct copy of an e-mail from Claude Kolm,

16 counsel for Defendant Patrick O’Connell, agreeing to a proposed stipulation extending the time to file

17 a motion for attorney’s fees and related expenses.

18 10. Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a true and correct copy of an e-mail from Judy Whitehurst,

19 counsel for Defendant Dean C. Logan, agreeing to a proposed stipulation extending the time to file a

20 motion for attorney’s fees and related expenses.

21 11. Attached hereto as Exhibit E is a true and correct copy of an e-mail from David

22 Thompson, counsel for Defendant-Intervenors, advising that “The proponents do not agree to the

23 stipulation outlined below, nor do we agree to an extension of time for the filing of a motion for

24 attorneys’ fees.”

25 12. I am aware of four previous time modifications in this case, two by Court order, see

26 Doc #170, Doc #710, and two by stipulation, see Doc #266, Doc #615.

27 13. The requested time modification would not affect the schedule of this case.

Counsel,

As the prevailing party, Plaintiffs are entitled to seek attorney's fees and related expenses.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d)(2)(B)(i) provides that unless a court order provides
otherwise, a motion for attorney’s fees and related expenses must be "filed no later than 14 days
after the entry of judgment." In light of Defendant-Intervenors' notice of appeal and related
motion practice, Plaintiffs would like to enter into a stipulation with all parties extending the
time by which a motion for attorney’s fees must be filed to 30 days after all appeals become
final.

Additionally, if the Court is reluctant to enter our stipulation, in the alternative we would like to
stipulate to an extended briefing schedule: movant's motion would be due 45 days after the court
rules on the fees/costs briefing issue; those seeking to oppose the motion for attorney’s fees and
costs would have 45 days after the motion is filed to do so; and movant would then have 30 days
to reply to the opposition.

Given the 14-day filing deadline imposed by FRCP 54, we would like to get a stipulation on file
tomorrow. Please confirm either today or tomorrow morning whether or not you would agree to
a stipulation. If the parties agree, Plaintiffs will circulate a proposed stipulation and order.

Please be advised that in the event we cannot reach an agreement among the parties, Plaintiffs
may seek to extend time by motion practice. Thank you.

Subject: Perry v. Schwarzenegger: Stipulation

Counsel, 
  
As the prevailing party, Plaintiffs are entitled to seek attorney's fees and related expenses.  Federal Rule of Civil 
Procedure 54(d)(2)(B)(i) provides that unless a court order provides otherwise, a motion for attorney’s fees and related 
expenses must be "filed no later than 14 days after the entry of judgment."  In light of Defendant‐Intervenors' notice of 
appeal and related motion practice, Plaintiffs would like to enter into a stipulation with all parties extending the time by 
which a motion for  attorney’s fees must be filed to 30 days after all appeals become final.   
  
Additionally, if the Court is reluctant to enter our stipulation, in the alternative we would like to stipulate to an extended 
briefing schedule: movant's motion would be due 45 days after the court rules on the fees/costs briefing issue; those 
seeking to oppose the motion for attorney’s fees and costs would have 45 days after the motion is filed to do so; and 
movant would then have 30 days to reply to the opposition. 
  
Given the 14‐day filing deadline imposed by FRCP 54, we would like to get a stipulation on file tomorrow.  Please 
confirm either today or tomorrow morning whether or not you would agree to a stipulation.  If the parties agree, 
Plaintiffs will circulate a proposed stipulation and order.  Please be advised that in the event we cannot reach an 
agreement among the parties, Plaintiffs may seek to extend time by motion practice.  Thank you.
