How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- explaining that the Gunter factors “need not be applied in a formulaic way. Each case is different, and in certain cases, one factor may outweigh the rest”
- vacating district court’s ruling because the fee-award issue was resolved in a “cursory and eonclusory” fashion
- finding risk of non-payment to be high when “the defendants were close to insolvency”
- stating “if the district court’s fee-award opinion is so terse, vague, or conclusory that we have no basis to review it, we must vacate the fee-award order and remand for further proceedings”
- district court's reasoning and application of the law must be clear enough to provide basis for review
- fact that defendant was close to insolvency supported approval of fee award
