Description
Per Curiam. We are concerned in this appeal with the interesting issue of the district courts use of certain factors to support its application of a negative multiplier to the lodestar amount of attorney fees sought by counsel for a prevailing party pursuant to the Civil Rights Attorneys Fee Award Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. ? 1988. An important aspect of the appeal is whether the district court apportioned the amount of the attorney fees award in respect to the amount of damages awarded to plaintiff in his underlying civil rights action. We examine the issue in light of City of Riverside v. Rivera, 477 U.S. 561 (1986), relied upon by counsel for plaintiff. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
