methodology can be inherently imprecise and require estimates, the Court must exercise its
discretion to arrive at the final fee award.
The Court has reviewed the declarations and exhibits provided by counsel and
finds the time expended and resources used were reasonable. See Ex. 3, Mot., Decl. of Jon M.
Greenbaum of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law [Dkt. 35-4]; Ex. 4, Mot.,
Decl. of Dennis A. Corkery (Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights) [Dkt. 35-5]; Ex.
5, Mot., Decl. of Ragan Naresh (Kirkland & Ellis) [Dkt. 35-6]. Counsel used the current Laffey
Matrix to calculate their fees, kept precise records of their time and the tasks completed, and did
not bill for duplicative efforts. The Court will award The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights
$105,114 in attorneys’ fees and $388.05 in costs; Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil
Rights and Urban Affairs $11,635 in attorneys’ fees; and Kirkland and Ellis, LLP $6,885.05 in
fees and costs to cover the expert report, service, and filing.
IV. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, the Court will grant Ms. Dumpson’s motion for default
judgment against Moonbase Holdings and Messrs. Anglin and Ade. The Court will also order
compensatory damages in the amount of $101,429.28, punitive damages in the amount of
$500,000, and attorneys’ fees and costs in the amount of $124,022.10. Finally, the Court will
enter a restraining order against Moonbase Holdings and Messrs. Anglin and Ade and enter a
preservation order against Mr. Anglin and Moonbase Holdings. A memorializing Order
accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.
