The Court is, however, reducing the amount of the sanctions that the Bells sought in their motion. The Bells sought $2,375. This figure reflected four hours of work by the Bells' counsel Kimia Sehati on the opening papers in support of the motion; four hours of anticipated work by Ms. Sehati in reviewing the Donovans' opposition to the motion and preparing a reply to the opposition; and 1.5 hours for Ms. Sehati's attendance at the hearing on the motion - all at Ms. Sehati's hourly billing rate of $250.

Because the Donovans did not, by any stretch, file a full-blown opposition to the motion and the reply brief was correspondingly short as a result, the Court is reducing the amount of sanctions attributable to Ms. Sehati's review of the opposition brief and preparation of the reply brief by 2.5 hours, from 4 hours to 1.5 hours, which comes out to $625. The Court also is reducing the amount of sanctions attributable to Ms. Sehati's attendance at the hearing by 1 hour, from 1.5 hours to.5 hours. All told, the Court is awarding monetary sanctions to the Bells for six hours of Ms.

Sehati's work in connection with the motion at her hourly billing rate of $250, which adds up to $1,500. The Court also is awarding to the Bells costs of $60 reflecting the filing fee they incurred for the motion The total amount of the monetary sanctions the Court is awarding is thus $1,560. The Donovans must pay that amount to the Bells' counsel within 30 days of this order.
