How courts have described this case

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

• holding that an offer of judgment for “reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred ... prior to- the date of this offer in an amount to be set by the court” unambiguously excluded attorney’s fees in preparation of the fee petition
• “The ‘usual rules of contract construction’ apply to interpreting the terms of a Rule 68 settlement offer in a § 1983 case.”
• “Because the plain language of the settlement offers limits attorney’s fees to those accrued prior to the date of the offers, the district court did not err in finding that the [plaintiffs] acceptance clearly and unambiguously waived attorney’s fees incurred thereafter.”
