United States Second Circuit

Denial of plaintiff's application for post-Offer of Judgment attorneys' fees pursuant to Rule 68, Fed. R. Civ. P., and the calculation of his fee award, are reversed to the extent the magistrate judge awarded plaintiff only pre-Offer attorneys' fees based on the conclusion that the equitable relief obtained had no significant value and that the final monetary award was less than the Offer
