Court rules Ms. Lindor may not move for attorneys fees

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

In UMG Recordings v. Lindor, in response to Ms. Lindor's request for (a) an order clarifying that the Court precludes her from making a motion for attorneys fees, or in the alternative (b) a pre-motion conference in connection with a planned motion for an order:

-determining the statute of limitations to have expired;
-determining her to be the prevailing party within the meaning of 17 USC 505; and
-awarding her costs, including reasonable attorneys fees,

the Court has issued an order which "restates that defendant's request for attorney's fees and costs is denied"
