Description
McMILLIAN, Circuit Judge. Attorneys for Robert Jones, Sr., one of several plaintiffs below, appeal from the district court's award of attorney's fees in an employment discrimination case, claiming that the amount awarded was unreasonably low. Appellants argue that the district court (1) used an incorrect legal standard in determining the amount to be awarded and (2) inaccurately assessed the plaintiffs' degree of success on their claims. Appellants also argue that they are entitled to receive compensation for time spent in litigating the fee issue. For the reasons discussed below, we remand this case for further consideration by the district court regarding the amount of attorney's fees to be awarded.
