The following excerpt is from Meinhold v. U.S. Dept. of Defense, 123 F.3d 1275 (9th Cir. 1997):
We reemphasize that the district court has discretion in determining the amount of a fee award. This is appropriate in view of the district court's superior understanding of the litigation and the desirability of avoiding frequent appellate review of what essentially are factual matters.
Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. at 437, 103 S.Ct. at 1941.
