Description
Fagg, Circuit Judge. Fred B. Jackson is the prevailing party in this race discrimination case. The district court reinstated Jackson in his job,
awarded him back pay, and also awarded him attorneys' fees based on the lodestar model under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(k) (1982).
These rulings are unchallenged. Instead, Jackson appeals from two postjudgment orders. Without conducting a hearing, the district
court refused to enhance the lodestar in one order, and in the other order, the district court rejected Jackson's request
to pay his lawyers a contingent fee in addition to the awarded fee. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
