United States First Circuit

In an employment discrimination action, following remand by the appellate court on the issue of calculating attorney fees, the district court's recalculation of attorney's fees is affirmed, where: 1) while the court likely had no obligation even to consider plaintiff's request to correct the judgment on remand from this court, nothing barred it from doing so; and 2) an award of $104,626.34 in attorney's fees and costs, for a suit obtaining a damages award of $7,650, is so not disproportionate as to constitute an abuse of discretion.
