Robinson v. City of Harvey, Ill.

Dist. Ct. erred in awarding plaintiff $277,462 in supplemental attorney fees as prevailing party in section 1983 action against defendant-City alleging that one of defendant's police officers shot plaintiff without good reason and attempted to frame him for possessing gun. While Dist. Ct. appropriately granted plaintiff's initial request for fees, instant supplemental request was filed 1,250 days after entry of judgment, which was beyond potential 90-day time frame for filing supplemental request for fees as contemplated under Local Rule 54.3(b) of N.D. of Ill. Ct. also noted that plaintiff had represented in initial appeal that Dist. Ct. judgment that contained original fee award was final order.
