Louise Trauma Ctr. v. DHS (D.D.C.) -- determining that plaintiff was both eligible and entitled to attorney’s fees and costs, but reducing requested fee award from $156k to $106k because: (1) plaintiff failed to show that the rate sought by its attorney rate was consistent with the prevailing market rate for similar legal services; (2) much of the attorney’s work was “needless, duplicative, or inefficient,” and the billing records lacked adequate details; and (3) plaintiff’s request for $45k for fees spent on its fee petition was unreasonable and would constitute an “unsupportable windfall.”
