Description
Following her successful suit against the Conrad Credit Corp. ("CCC") for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (the "Collection Act"), 15 U.S.C. S 1691 et seq., the district court granted Nancy Lee Ferlands request for attorneys fees. In doing so, however, the court declined to grant fees for certain time Ferlands attorney submitted on the case and approved fees for less than half the remaining total number of hours the attorney actually expended. Ferland appeals the fee award. We find error in some of the district courts calculations, and conclude that its explanation for the very large cut in the number of hours compensated was not adequate. We therefore remand for correction of the calculation errors and for reconsideration of the across-the-board cut in the number of hours covered by the award.
