• holding that photocopying expenses, telephone and facsimile charges, postage, and messenger and express mail service charges are reasonably incurred in prose cuting a weighty lawsuit.
• holding that the proposed student loan forgiveness might not “have the same value as cash in hand” but was of value given student credit reports would be cleared of default
• explaining that “the results obtained” for a class evidence the skill and quality of counsel
• noting that debt forgiveness for those unable to pay “arguably does not have the same value as cash in hand”
• finding that a lack of objections supported approval of fee request
• noting that “[d]ebt forgiveness for students who are already delinquent in paying back their loans arguably does not have the same value as cash in hand” but ultimately finding “it reasonable to include debt forgiveness in the total settlement value”
