`Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-12 Plaintiff/Counterclaim Defendant Meta Platforms, Inc.
`(hereinafter “Meta”) and Defendants/Counterclaim Plaintiffs BrandTotal Ltd. and Unimania,
`Inc., (hereinafter “BrandTotal”) by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate to, and
`respectfully request that the Court issue an order on the value of fees and costs to be awarded
`pursuant to the Court’s May 27, 2022 Order (ECF No. 339) on Meta’s Motion For Discovery
`Sanctions (ECF No. 246) (“Sanctions Order”).
`In its Sanctions Order, the Court found “that an award of attorneys’ fees is appropriate to
`cure the prejudice to Meta that resulted from BrandTotal’s spoliation of evidence” and directed
`the parties to meet and confer regarding the amount of fees to be awarded on the sanctions
`motion and to file either: “(1) a stipulation as to the amount of such fees and costs; or (2) a joint
`letter brief no longer than five pages laying out their respective positions on the value fees and
`costs to be awarded.” ECF No. 339. The parties have conferred and have agreed to a sanctions
`fee amount of $72,500 (the “Sanctions Fee Amount”).
`BrandTotal has requested that rather than paying this amount immediately, it be allowed
`to place the Sanctions Fee Amount in escrow through the date of the parties’ mediation on
`August 29, 2022.
`The parties have agreed that prior to August 29, 2022 the Sanctions Fee Amount will
`only be released to Meta upon joint assent of both parties. Starting on August 30, 2022, Meta
`will have sole authority to direct the escrow agent to release the funds to Meta. Any fees and
`costs associated with the maintenance or use of an escrow account will be paid by BrandTotal.
`IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by Meta and BrandTotal, pursuant to
`Civil Local Rules 7-12 and this Court’s Sanctions Order ECF No. 339 that:
`1. BrandTotal shall pay Meta $72,500 in fees and costs pursuant to this Court’s ruling on
`Meta’s Motion For Discovery Sanctions (ECF No. 339);
`2. BrandTotal shall place this $72,500 in an escrow account no later than one week after the
`date of this Order;
