PLAINTIFFS’ OPPOSITION TO WOOD’S BILL OF COSTS 

TO THE HONORABLE COURT: 

Defendant-intervenor Wood has filed a Bill of Costs in this 

Court. Plaintiffs request that the Court delay review of Wood's 

Bill of Costs until appellate review of this case is complete. The 

Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, en banc, has issued a decision in 

this case. Plaintiffs plan to request United States Supreme Court 

review of the Fifth Circuit’s decision. THEREFORE, Plaintiffs 

request that this Court delay a decision on Wood’s Bill of Costs 

while appellate review continues. Plaintiffs request that the 

Court consider Wood’s Bill of Costs at the same time that the Court 

considers requests for attorneys fees in this case. 

Respectfully submitted:
