statement from Howard for his services rendered from June 3
through September 5, 1997. Howard billed for professional
services in connection with the filing of petitioner's summary
judgment motion. In support of her summary judgment motion,
petitioner relied on the same argument presented by Beeler in his
legal memorandum dated September 22, 1995. Accordingly, the
services rendered by Howard are duplicative of those rendered by
Beeler. We shall not award fees for these hours.
Miscellaneous Litigation Expenses
Petitioner submitted a bill showing $206.23 of miscellaneous
litigation costs, including photocopying and a filing fee. We
find this amount to be reasonable.
In summary, we hold that petitioner is entitled to an award
of attorney's fees in the amount of $8,272 for services rendered
by Beeler at the limited rate set forth in section
7430(c)(1)(B)(iii). Petitioner is not entitled to an award of
attorney's fees for services rendered by Howard. Finally,
petitioner is entitled to miscellaneous litigation expenses
incurred in the amount of $206.23.
To reflect the foregoing,
An appropriate order
will be issued.
