How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- explaining that courts should consider “whether the plaintiff achieved a sufficient degree of success to render the hours reasonably expended a satisfactory basis for awarding attorney fees”
- noting that courts in the Sixth Circuit have reduced fees on the basis of insufficient documentation
- determining that entries such as “Conference with,” “Research,” “Review file,” “Review documents,” etc. were sufficient to be compensable.
- finding that three-month period between protected activity and termination supported an inference of a causal connection
- noting that courts in the Sixth Circuit have reduced fees on the basis of insufficient documentation
- holding fee award was not an abuse of discretion because “[u]nlike the plaintiff in Farrar, Imwalle was able to prove an ‘actual, compensable injury’” (citation omitted)
