The following excerpt is from Gordon v. L. A. Unified Sch. Dist., 19-55806, 19-55874 (9th Cir. 2021):
Cf. Trevino v. Gates, 99 F.3d 911, 925 (9th Cir. 1996) ("[P]rivate attorneys often charge lower rates to the government because of counterbalancing benefits such as repeat business, and where the facts show this, the fee charged by a government attorney is simply irrelevant to the establishment of a reasonable hourly rate for a plaintiff's civil rights lawyer." (simplified)).
