FLSA Attorney’s Fees Case

In Scott v. City of N.Y., No. 09-5232, an appeal from the district court’s order awarding plaintiff’s counsel attorney’s fees pursuant to section 216(b) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the court vacated the order where, because the district court did not explain the basis on which counsel was excepted from the requirement that attorneys submit contemporaneous time records with their fee applications, the court was unable to divine whether the district court abused its discretion in granting such an exception.
