United States Second Circuit

In a securities and derivative litigation, a denial of non-lead class counsel's petition for increased attorneys' fees following a settlement is affirmed where a standard counseling consideration of lead counsels' allocation of fees did not in any way limit the district court's ability to engage in a meaningful review of the fairness of the allocation and the overall reasonableness of fees, and such a review occurred here.
