In Flitton v. Primary Res. Mortgage, Inc. No. 09-4108, the court affirmed the district court’s order awarding plaintiff $367,689.00 in attorney’s fees as a prevailing party in a Title VII lawsuit, holding that 1) the district court correctly concluded that plaintiff’s successful retaliation claim and her unsuccessful discrimination and punitive damages claims were interrelated; 2) the district court’s assessment of her overall level of success was not an abuse of discretion; and 3) the district court conducted a thorough review of plaintiff’s attorneys’ billing entries and reduced the fee award based on the inadequacy of eleven specific entries.
