Citation
Case Number: 
No. 24-2387
Decision Date: 
July 2, 2025
Federal District: 
N.D. Ill., Eastern Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed.
Judge: 
BRENNAN

In a successive appeal, a class member objected to the district court’s award of attorney fees. The Seventh Circuit found the district court’s fee analysis was thorough and that the sole error, in which the district court included a handful of “skewed” fee awards when recreating the market for legal services, could easily be removed from the calculation so that Seventh Circuit affirmed the award as modified.
