Are there any records that support a district court's decision not to order a 50% across-the-board cut in the amount of time spent litigating the case?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Perfect 10, Inc. v. Giganews, Inc., 847 F.3d 657 (9th Cir. 2017):

on the case, those records are not dispositive," and "[a court] has the discretion not to rely on them." Gonzalez v. City of Maywood , 729 F.3d 1196, 1202 (9th Cir. 2013). The district court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that the hours Perfect 10 spent litigating the case were not a good barometer of whether Appellees' billed hours were reasonable, nor did it abuse its discretion by finding that there was no basis to impose a 50 percent across-the-board cut.

For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the district court's fee award.
