RESPONSE to 409 MOTION for Attorney Fees Objectors' Request for Attorney Fees, Costs, and Payments, 413 Amended MOTION for Attorney Fees Objectors' Amended Request for Attorney Fees, Costs, and Payments
Finding that objectors conferred a benefit on the class warranting an award of attorney's fees where their objections were instrumental in causing the district court to deny fees to class counsel
631 F. Supp. 2d 242 (E.D.N.Y. 2009) Cited 31 times
Concluding that no lodestar multiplier was necessary because "any thought of increasing Class Counsel's award for bringing a suit that risked non-payment is overcome by the need to avoid a windfall award that exceeds the value of the benefits to Class Members and unduly incentivizes the prosecution of such claims in the future"
