How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• suggesting that inflated and/or inadequate fee applications place intolerable burdens on the court thereby providing sufficient grounds for denying application
• affirming lower court’s instruction to the jury that “false arrest legally constituted false imprisonment”
• fee award reversed because counsel made no good faith effort to exclude from fee request “hours that are excessive, redundant, or otherwise unnecessary”
• “inexcusable reaching for fees” is grounds for complete denial even to prevailing party
