BARBARA .MAJOR,” ET AL. CIVIL ACTION 

VERSUS NO. 82-1192 

DAVID C. TREEN, ET AL. SECTION "C" 

* % %* %  % % * *k % x % * * '% 

This matter is before the Court on plaintiffs' motion 

for withdrawal or modification of the Court's reference to 

Magistrate Chasez of plaintiffs' claim for attorneys' fees 

and expenses.l/ The Court, pursuant to Local Rule 3.5, will 

not hear oral arguments on this motion, because this motion 

can be resolved equally fairly, yet more expeditiously, 

without oral arguments. For the reasons given below, said 

motion is hereby DENIED. 

The Court is convinced that the reference of this matter 

to the Magistrate should not be withdrawn or in any way 

modified, because it was neither erroneous nor ill advised. 

The reference should not be withdrawn, because the Magistrate's 

findings and recommendations on the referenced issue will be 

of great assistance to this Court in making its determination 

of the appropriate attorneys' fees and expenses. Furthermore, 

  

Y/ Said motion was styled "Plaintiffs' Motion For Hearing 
Before The United States District Judge."

the reference should not be modified in the manner requested 

by plaintiffs because such modification would eviscerate the 

reference and effectively eliminate its assistance value to 

the Court. ‘Accordingly, the Court rejects plaintiffs' motion 

for withdrawal or modification of the reference of the 

attorneys' fees issue to the Magistrate. 

Ell, 
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
