• Attachment 9a contains an Invoice from Truckee Fire Protection District showing a balance due of $2693.71. Clarify whether this invoice has this been paid, waived, or if it will it be paid from the settlement agreement. • Attachment 12 does not include the “reasons for the apportionment of the settlement payments between the claimant and each other plaintiff,” it only includes the apportionment. • The Declaration of Michelle L. Olivarez re Attorney's Fees mislabels the Exhibits. Exhibit A is the retainer agreement and Exhibit B is the itemization of costs.
The Declaration states "Wilshire Law Firm was forced to advance a total of $1,385.02 in costs associated with this matter, including the filling [sic] fee for this petition." However, Exhibit B contains no itemized filing fee costs. Additionally, the itemized costs are for $1295.02 for "ChartSquad", but there is no explanation of what ChartSquad is and why such costs were necessary. Finally, the amount of costs in the Declaration, $1,385.02, do not match the amount of costs in Exhibit B, $1295.02.
Please update the Declaration and Exhibits accordingly. • “Attachment 18a(2)” appears to be mislabeled. The Court assumes it should be labeled Attachment 19b(2).
