What is the range of damages awarded by the 9th Circuit for time spent preparing a similar claim?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Pate v. Alameda-Contra Costa Transit Dist., 697 F.2d 870 (9th Cir. 1983):

The award cannot be deemed excessive because it included fees for time spent in preparing those claims dismissed by the district court. It is true that no compensation may be paid for the time spent to prepare unrelated claims on which plaintiffs did not prevail. Sethy v. Alameda County Water District, [9th Cir.] 602 F.2d , at 898. In this case, however, plaintiffs pursued several claims to remedy the same injury, gender discrimination. Under those circumstances, plaintiffs are entitled to an award for all time spent in pursuit of their ultimate goal. [citations] (Emphasis added).

Id. at 909 (emphasis added).
