U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-2984
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Central
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Fair Labor Standards Act. In ruling on plaintiff's motion for
attorney fees after the matter had been settled, the district court did
not abuse its discretion in setting the attorneys' rates or in excluding
the managing partner's hours as unwarranted; however, the district court
erred in excluding all hours related to plaintiff's three summary judgment
motions and three oppositions to defendant's motions; plaintiff's motion
to reassign the case on remand is rejected. Judge Loken, dissenting in
part.
