Zhang v. YUAN

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JINJU ZHANG, Case No. 23-cv-05818-VC Plaintiff, ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR Vv. DISCHARGE AND FOR ATTORNEYS' FEES BELIN YUAN, et al., Re: Dkt. No. 147 Defendants.

Bank of America’s unopposed motion for discharge and for attorneys’ fees is granted. Bank of America is disinterested and has deposited the funds with the Court, making its discharge appropriate. E.g., Metropolitan Life Insurance co. v. Billini, 2007 WL 4209405, at *2 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 27, 2007). As for attorneys’ fees, it only seeks reimbursement for compensable expenses, and the amount it seeks is modest. See Trustees of Directors Guild of America- Producer Pension Benefits Plan v. Tise, 234 F.3d 415, 426—27 (9th Cir. 2000). Bank of America is dismissed from the action, and the Clerk of Court is directed to pay it $5,025 from the fund it deposited with the Court. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: February 10, 2025 = VINCE CHHABRIA United States District Judge
