How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- “A district court has great discretion when determining whether an amendment to the complaint should be allowed once responsive pleadings have been filed.”
- “This court will only reverse a dis- trict court’s denial of a motion to amend in instances which the district court has clearly abused its discretion.”
- while § 1983 defendants are entitled to vigorously contest a plaintiff’s claims, once they do so they cannot “then complain that the fees award should be less than claimed because the case could have been tried with less resources and with fewer hours expended.”
