   District of Minnesota   
Attorneys' fees - District court did not err in applying lodestar approach to attorneys' fees award in class action suit involving mortgage and escrow funds dispute; however, class counsel should have been allowed an opportunity to substantiate their claims after district court rejected the percentage of the benefit approach counsel used to calculate fees; counsel acted reasonably in relying on the specific terms of settlement agreement and should be allowed second change to submit additional records.
