Case No. 3:01CV1967 (RNC)
June 11, 2004
MOTION TO COMPEL JONES DAY'S BILLING RECORDS
On April 19, 2004, a plaintiff's verdict entered pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. (FCRA) and the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act, C.G.S. § 42110a et seq. (CUTPA). The FCRA mandates (and the CUTPA permits) a lodestar award of reasonable attorney's fees and costs. The plaintiff has moved for such an award and has requested a hearing before this court. Insofar as the defendant contests the plaintiff's most recent prayer, he is entitled to review the Jones Day's billing records. Jones day refuses. A memorandum accompanies. The plaintiff asks that this court compel Jones Day's complete billing records for use in determining an appropriate lodestar figure. The plaintiff further asks that such records be ordered furnished by a date certain and prior to the plaintiff's requested fee hearing.
