MINUTE ENTRY
The Court has reviewed Plaintiff’s Application for Attorneys’ Fees and Litigation
Expenses, Defendant’s Response and Plaintiff’s Reply.
Plaintiff is entitled to “reasonable” attorney’s fees pursuant to the Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Amber Ridge Heights. The Court has reviewed the
affidavit and reduced the award of attorney fees for the following items:
Duplicative billings:
1. Plaintiff billed for research to confirm no pending bankruptcy or trustee sale 6 times
during the pendency of the case. $69 was deducted from the billing;
2. Plaintiff billed 3 times for reviewing ledger to confirm delinquency meets statutory
minimum. $46 was deducted from the billing total;

3. Plaintiff billed 3 times for review of the disclosure statement on June 13, 2016 and
June 14, 2016. $92 was deducted from the billing total.
The Court finds it unreasonable to charge Defendant Vega for billings related to work on
settlement or prosecution of claims related to the other defendants. $839 was deducted from the
billing total for billing charges included on pages 3, 4 and 5 of the History Bill from Ekmark &
Ekmark, LLC.
Therefore, Plaintiff is awarded attorneys’ fees in the amount of $8419.00. That amount
will be included in the Judgment.
