We then multiply the remaining 143.61 hours by the $140 rate cap
in effect for 2000 and 2001 to obtain the lodestar for this
period: $20,105.40.
b. 2002 through 2005
Izen’s time entries for 2002 through 2005 amount to 758.19
hours. We subtract 87.325 hours from that total to reflect the
adjustments discussed above that apply to 2002-2005 time entries.
We then multiply the remaining 670.865 hours by the $150 rate cap
in effect from 2002 through 2005 to obtain the lodestar for this
period: $100,629.75.
The 758.19 hours claimed for this period include 192.07 fee
request hours, and the 88.575 hours disallowed for this period
include 53.91 fee request hours.
c. 2006
Izen’s time entries for 2006 amount to 31.16 hours, all of
which are fee request hours. Since none of our adjustments
relate to 2006, we multiply the full 31.16 hours by the $160 rate
cap in effect for 2006 to obtain the lodestar for this period:
$4,985.60.
d. Total
The lodestar with respect to the Izen fee request is
$125,720.75 ($20,105.40 + $100,629.75 + $4,985.60). The fees-on-
fees lodestar is $25,709.60, calculated as follows: [(192.07 -
53.91) X $150] + $4,985.60 = (138.16 X $150) + $4,985.60 =
