United States Ninth Circuit
TRADITIONAL CAT ASS'N. INC. v. GILBREATH, 01-56595
District court erred in limiting Copyright Act plaintiffs' recovery to fees attributable to copyright claims without first considering whether copyright and non-copyright claims were related; court abused its discretion in denying a fee request altogether for lack of adequate documentation.
