- ilnd;;1:04-cv-06403_de37 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before Judge Michael T. Mason : Plaintiff's application for attorneys' fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act and for entry of final judgment order 29 is granted in part. Plaintiff requests fees in the amount of $9,056.25. After reviewing plaintiff's application and the Commissioner's response, we find that the attorneys' fees requested are excessive. Specifically, we find that the amount of time billed for paralegal and law clerk work, 59.05 hours, is excessive. The use of non-attorneys saves money only when their efforts are not duplicated by counsel. Here, counsel billed 20.20 hours in addition to the 59.05 hours billed by non-attorneys. Based on the foregoing, the Court awards reasonable attorneys' fees as follows: 1.00 attorney hour at $151.25/hr; 19.20 attorney hours at $156.25/hr; and 30 paralegal and law clerk hours at $100.00/hr. The total amount of fees awarded to plaintiff is $6,151.25. Mailed notice (tlp, ) (Entered: 09/11/2006)" @default.
