Description
Iqbal Mathur won a jury verdict in this employment discrimination and retaliation case and petitioned for attorneys fees. In this appeal, the appellants, two of Mathurs attorneys, claim that the district court improperly reduced the proffered hourly rate when it used local rates to determine the award. Because we agree that the district court abused its discretion when making this modification, we vacate the district courts judgment and remand for further proceedings.
