What subsumed factors are considered in the calculation of reasonable hours or reasonable hourly fees?

9 Among the subsumed factors presumably taken into account in either the reasonable hours component or the reasonable rate component of the lodestar calculation are: "(1) the novelty and complexity of the issues, (2) the special skill and experience of counsel, (3) the quality of representation, ... (4) the results obtained," Cabrales v. County of Los Angeles, 864 F.2d 1454, 1464 (9th Cir.1988), reinstated, 886 F.2d 235 (1989), cert. denied, 494 U.S. 1091, 110 S.Ct. 1838, 108 L.Ed.2d 966 (1990), and (5) the contingent nature of the fee agreement, City of Burlington v. Dague, 505 U.S. 557, 565-67, 112 S.Ct. 2638, 2643, 120 L.Ed.2d 449 (1992).

Adjusting the lodestar on the basis of subsumed reasonableness factors after the lodestar has been calculated, instead of adjusting the reasonable number of hours or reasonable hourly rate at the first step, i.e. when determining the lodestar, is a disfavored procedure. Corder v. Gates, 947 F.2d at 378. However, as long as the district court only makes one adjustment per factor, either before or after the lodestar calculation, we have found such an error to be harmless. Id.; Cabrales, 864 F.2d at 1465.
