United States Ninth Circuit

In prison officials' order from an attorney's fees order in a prison reform litigation, the order is affirmed where, because the Supreme Court had determined that, for purposes of 42 U.S.C. section 1988, the phrase "reasonable attorney's fee" encompassed separately billed paralegal services, paralegal fees were subject to the same cap under the Prison Litigation Reform Act as attorney's fees.
