United States Second Circuit

In a case arising from a medical malpractice action which had been settled, denial of attorney's application for attorneys' fees is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the application based on a finding that attorney engaged in misconduct with respect to the fees and expenses in the case and that he failed to represent his client adequately with respect to the post-settlement proceedings in the district court; and 2) the record did not support his claim of bias.
