DEFENDANTS ORDER This matter came before the Court on the Plaintiffs’ Unopposed Motion for Plaintiffs’ Attorneys’ Fees and expenses. The Court, having reviewed the Unopposed Motion and evaluated the agreed-upon amount of fees and expenses, finds it reasonable. Accordingly, the Motion is, for good cause, GRANTED. The Court rules, orders, and directs as follows: 1. Payment shall be made by Defendants to Plaintiffs’ current Counsel, A Better Childhood, (“ABC”) _ in the agreed-upon amount of $31,249.37, upon appropriation by the Mississippi Legislature, for legal services performed and expenses incurred from August 15, 2014 through December 5, 2014, in the monitoring and enforcement of the orders entered into in this case. 2.
