SUPPORT COMMUNITY, INC.,
Plaintiff,
v.
MPH INTERNATIONAL LLC,
Defendant.
Case No. 23-cv-04911-JSW
ORDER AWARDING ATTORNEYS'
FEES AS SANCTIONS AND
REQUIRING PROOFS OF SERVICE
PER ORDER AT DOCKET 97
Re: Dkt. Nos. 97-99
This matter comes before the Court following the Court’s Order granting, in part,
Defendant’s administrative motion to withdraw its motion for summary judgment and awarding
Plaintiff its attorneys’ fees for work done after it filed its opposition to the motion. The Court has
reviewed Mr. Sedlik’s declaration detailing those fees, and it finds both the hourly rate and the
amount incurred reasonable.
Accordingly, counsel for MPH International, LLC shall pay Support Community, Inc.
through its counsel $25,021.25, within thirty (30) days of this Order. In addition, the Court
Ordered “Mr. Russo to self-report by sending a copy this Order to the State Bar of California and
to serve a copy on his client,” and to file proofs of service by October 27, 2025. Mr. Russo has
not complied with that deadline. Mr. Russo shall file those proofs of service by February 20,
2026, or the Court shall issue an Order to Show Cause why it should not impose monetary
sanctions for failure to comply with its Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: February 10, 2026
