United States Second Circuit

The district court's decision awarding $32,489.29 in attorney's fees and costs to plaintiff following a stipulated judgment awarding plaintiff maximum statutory damages of $1,001 for an alleged violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is affirmed, where: 1) because defendants' settlement offer did not include an offer of judgment, it did not fully resolve the case and did not moot further litigation by plaintiff; and therefore, 2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding that defendants remain liable for additional attorney's fees accrued by plaintiff.
