• denying costs for hearing transcripts when party made no argument about the “necessity or required use of these transcripts”
• finding “insufficiently detailed” “many entries perfunctorily stat[ing] that counsel ‘e-mailed’ or sent an ‘email to’ someone, had a ‘phone discussion w/’ someone, or ‘reviewed and responded to’ an e- mail or a document”
• criticizing “billing entries only vaguely 30 describe[d as] ‘preparing for trial’” as “provid[ing] no detail or specificity from which the Court could ascertain whether the preparations were reasonably expended or, instead, were unnecessarily duplicative”
• awarding fees based on the USAO Matrix in a Title VII action
• “A fixed, percentage reduction may be warranted when a large number of billing entries suffer from one or more deficiencies.”
• “[A]n award of over $80,000 for the preparation of this routine fee petition would be excessive”
