UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

CENTRAL DIVISION
NORMAN BROWN, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
Case No. 17-cv-4082-NKL
ANNE L. PRECYTHE, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
Counsel for the Plaintiffs, a class of individuals who received mandatory sentences of life
without parole when they were just children, sought and received from the Court an injunction
requiring the state defendants to comply with constitutional requirements for parole opportunities
that the Supreme Court mandated in a series of decisions issued in the last decade. Counsel now
move to recover attorney fees and expenses. Plaintiffs’ motion for fees and costs is GRANTED
in part as set forth below.
I.
BACKGROUND
In 2012, the United States Supreme Court ruled that a mandatory sentence of life without
parole is unconstitutional for those who were children when the crimes for which they were
convicted took place. Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460 (2012). The Court’s rationale was
premised on “developments in psychology and brain science” that “continue[d] to show
fundamental differences between juvenile and adult minds.” Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48, 68
(2010), as modified (July 6, 2010). Not only do “children have a lack of maturity and an
underdeveloped sense of responsibility, leading to recklessness, impulsivity, and heedless risktaking,” but also, “children are more vulnerable to negative influences and outside pressures,
including from their family and peers; they have limited control over their own environment and
lack the ability to extricate themselves from horrific, crime-producing settings.” Miller, 567 U.S.
at 471 (quotation marks and citations omitted). “Parts of the brain involved in behavior control
continue to mature through late adolescence.” Graham, 560 U.S. at 68. Thus, studies have shown
that “only a relatively small proportion of adolescents who engage in illegal activity develop
entrenched patterns of problem behavior.” Miller, 567 U.S. at 471 (quotation marks and citation
omitted). The actions of a juvenile therefore “are less likely to be evidence of irretrievably
depraved character than are the actions of adults.” Graham, 560 U.S. at 68 (quotation marks and
citation omitted). Because “a greater possibility exists that a minor’s character deficiencies will
be reformed,” it “would be misguided” to treat a juvenile offender in the same fashion as an adult.
Id. (quotation marks and citation omitted). A mandatory sentence of life without parole takes no
account of the fact that the “signature qualities” of youth described above “are all transient.”
Miller, 567 U.S. at 476 (quotation marks and citation omitted). It “disregards the possibility of
rehabilitation even when the circumstances most suggest it.” Id. at 478.
In 2016, the Supreme Court clarified that the prohibition on mandatory sentences of life
without parole for juveniles applies retroactively. Montgomery v. Louisiana, 136 S. Ct. 718
(2016). The court also found that a state could remedy a Miller violation by providing a
meaningful opportunity for parole of juveniles who had already been sentenced to life without
parole.
Plaintiffs filed this case on May 18, 2017, seeking a meaningful opportunity for release.
The five claims alleged were based on the same alleged conduct and presented questions of first
impression in Missouri, including whether a juvenile offender has a liberty interest in parole under
the recent Supreme Court case law.
2
In response, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss all of the claims. Doc. 23. The matter
was fully briefed on July 28, 2017. Doc. 46. On August 11, 2017, Plaintiffs filed a motion to
amend the complaint. Doc. 48. That motion was fully briefed on September 7, 2017. Doc. 55.
The Court denied the motion to dismiss in full and granted Plaintiffs’ motion to amend. Doc. 64.
On March 30, 2018, Plaintiffs moved for class certification. After the motion was fully
briefed, the Court certified a class of “[i]ndividuals in the custody of the Missouri Department of
Corrections who were sentenced to life without parole under a mandatory sentencing scheme and
who were under 18 years of age at the time of the offense.” Doc. 140.
In the meantime, the parties litigated discovery disputes concerning materials that
Defendants maintained confidentially, but which were important to Plaintiffs’ case.
Finally, both sides moved for summary judgment on all claims. Docs. 133, 137. Although
the Court granted summary judgment to the defendants on the statutory claim, the Court granted
summary judgment to Plaintiffs on the constitutional claims, stating that “[t]he evidence
establishes that certain of Defendants’ policies, procedures, and customs for parole review for
those serving JLWOP sentences violate the class members’ constitutional rights.” Doc. 158, pp.
26-27. In light of the Supreme Court’s statement that “[i]t is for the State, in the first instance, to
explore the means and mechanisms for compliance,” Graham, 560 U.S. at 75, the Court ordered
Defendants to present a plan for compliance with the applicable statutory and constitutional
requirements. Doc. 158, p. 27.
Before the Court ruled on the competing plans for compliance, the parties, by order of the
Court, participated in mediation with The Honorable John T. Maughmer. Doc. 168. Through
3
mediation, the parties were able to resolve some of their differences.1 Defendants subsequently
filed a revised plan for compliance. Doc. 172. Plaintiffs’ filed a response to that revised plan.
Doc. 173. At Plaintiffs’ request, the Court held an evidentiary hearing regarding the proposals for
compliance on March 27, 2019. The parties submitted post-hearing briefing and reports. Docs.
176-178. On August 1, 2019, the Court issued an order adopting the terms to which the parties
agreed and deciding the issues that remained in dispute. Doc. 179.
Plaintiffs now seek $789,303.10 in attorneys fees and expenses. The parties agree that
Plaintiffs are the prevailing parties but disagree as to the amount of fees that should be awarded.
II.
DISCUSSION
a. Fees
The basis for any fee award under § 1988 is the lodestar calculation, the product of a
reasonable hourly rate and the number of hours reasonably expended on the litigation. See
Hensley, 461 U.S. at 433 (“The most useful starting point for determining the amount of a
reasonable fee is the number of hours reasonably expended on the litigation multiplied by a
reasonable hourly rate.”); Hanig v. Lee, 415 F.3d 822, 825 (8th Cir. 2005) (“The starting point in
determining attorney fees is the lodestar, which is calculated by multiplying the number of hours
reasonably expended by the reasonable hourly rates.”). Thus, to determine whether the fees that
Plaintiffs seek are reasonable, the Court must determine (1) a reasonable rate for the attorneys’
time and (2) the number of hours reasonably expended on the litigation.
1
Defendants’ agreement was contingent on Plaintiffs’ success on the appeal from the Court’s
summary judgment motion—in other words, if the Eighth Circuit reversed the Court’s summary
judgment decision, then Defendants’ agreements with regard to the plan for compliance would no
longer be effective.
4
1. Reasonable Hourly Rates
The parties agree that the Eighth Circuit applies the Prison Litigation Reform Act to cases
such as this one. Doc. 200, p. 6; 202, p. 4.2
A. Rate for Attorneys
The PLRA limits the hourly rate for attorney fees to no “greater than 150 percent of the
hourly rate established under section 3006A of title 18 for payment of court-appointed counsel.”
42 U.S.C. § 1997e(d)(3).
There is no dispute that the rates established under § 3006A of Title 18 for the relevant
time periods are as set forth below:3
Time Period
May 5, 2017 – March 22, 2018
Hourly Attorney Rate
Under Section 3006A of
Title 18
$132
Highest PLRA
Hourly Rate
$198
March 23, 2018 – February 14, 2019
$140
$210
February 15, 2019 – December 31, 2019
$148
$222
Thus, despite the facts that Plaintiffs’ attorneys have significant experience, were well prepared,
diligent, and skillful, and obtained excellent results for their clients, in calculating the lodestar
figure, the Court cannot exceed the PLRA hourly rates set forth above.
2
In light of Plaintiffs’ concession on reply that the PLRA applies to the fees in this case under
Eighth Circuit law, the Court need not address the parties’ arguments about whether the Laffey
Matrix is an appropriate basis for determining whether Plaintiffs’ proposed fee requests are
reasonable.
3
See Guide to Judiciary Policy, Vol. 7, Defender Services, Part A, Guidelines for Administering
the CJA and Related Statutes, Chapter 2: Appointment and Payment of Counsel
(https://www.uscourts.gov/rules-policies/judiciary-policies/cja-guidelines/chapter-2-ss-230compensation-and-expenses#a230 16).
5
Notably, Defendants have not suggested that the PLRA’s maximum rate is unreasonable
for any of the billing attorneys and the Court finds that a Missouri lawyer specializing in
constitutional claims commands substantially higher rates than the PLRA permits. See Trinity
Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Comer, No. 2:13-cv-4022-NKL, 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
190824, at *4 (W.D. Mo. Nov. 7, 2018).
Therefore, the Court finds that, under the PLRA’s strictures, the maximum rates under the
PLRA are reasonable for each attorney.
B. Rate for Paralegal
The PLRA is silent with regard to rates for “work performed by paralegals and similar
support staff.” Washington v. Denney, No. 14-CV-6118-NKL, 2017 WL 4399566, at *3 (W.D.
Mo. Oct. 3, 2017) (citing Hall v. Terrell, 648 F. Supp. 2d 1229, 1235 (D. Colo. 2009) (citing 165
A.L.R. Fed. 551 § 2(b)); Ilick v. Miller, 68 F. Supp. 2d 1169, 1179 (D. Nev. 1999) (noting that
“the PLRA is silent with respect to fees allowed to paralegals”)). Therefore, “‘courts have used
their own discretion’ in determining appropriate rates for such staff.” Washington, 2017 WL
4399566, at *3 (quoting Hall, 648 F. Supp. 2d at 1235).
Plaintiffs seek an hourly rate of $216 for the paralegals in this case. Defendants argue that
this rate is too high, pointing to a Third Circuit case from 2004, Potence v. Hazleton Area Sch.
Dist., 357 F.3d 366, 375 (3d Cir. 2004), which upheld a rate of $85 for paralegals. Doc. 200, p.
10. Defendants acknowledge that “[t]he work in the case at bar is more complex than in an ADEA
case such as Potence,” but nonetheless propose a rate of $100 per hour for Plaintiffs’ paralegals.
Id.
The Missouri Lawyer Weekly Billing Rates publication for 2019 shows that the median
hourly rate for support staff (which might include not only paralegals, but also legal assistants,
6
mail room clerks, copy room staff, etc.) is $175. For class actions particularly, paralegal rates
range between $90 and $305. Doc. 188-2, ECF pp. 13-16. The Court finds that the hourly rate of
$216 is a reasonable starting point for calculating the PLRA rates for the claimed paralegal hours
in this case. See Washington, 2017 WL 4399566, at *4.
Because the proposed rates are reasonable, the Court will determine the appropriate PLRA
rate for the paralegal by comparing the usual billing rate for the paralegal with the usual billing
rates for the attorneys. In other words, the Court will determine a “PLRA” rate for the paralegal
by reducing the usual rate in proportion to the amount that the PLRA has reduced the
corresponding attorney rate.4 To illustrate:
x (PLRA paralegal rate)
$216 (usual rate for paralegal)
=
$198 (PLRA attorney rate in first period) $366.75 (average rate for Husch attorney)
$216 x $198
x=
$366.75
or,
x = $116.61
Applying the PLRA cap to the billing rate for each of the three periods in this fashion
produces billing rates as follows:
Period
Formula
Rate
Paralegal Rate for May 5, 2017 – March 22, 2018
216 x 198 / 366.75
$116.61
4
Plaintiffs used the average Husch Blackwell attorney rate as the basis for the paralegal-toattorney rate ratio to calculate a proposed PLRA-appropriate rate for the paralegal (Doc. 202, p. 5,
n.2), rather than the lowest attorney-rate presented on the motion, as the Court did in Washington,
2017 WL 4399566, at *4. The Court therefore uses the average Husch Blackwell attorney rate to
calculate the paralegal rate, which produces a slightly lower rate for the paralegal than she would
have received under the framework used in Washington. .
7
Paralegal Rate for March 23, 2018 – February 14, 2019
216 x 210 / 366.75
$123.68
Paralegal Rate for February 15, 2019 – December 31, 2019
216 x 222 / 366.75
$130.75
The Courts finds these rates reasonable under the restrictions imposed by the PLRA.
Awarding fees in this manner for paralegals rewards Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ “cost-effective delivery
of legal services.” See Missouri v. Jenkins, 491 U.S. 274, 288 (1989) (“By encouraging the use of
lower cost paralegals rather than attorneys wherever possible, permitting market-rate billing of
paralegal hours ‘encourages cost-effective delivery of legal services and, by reducing the spiraling
costs of civil rights litigation, furthers the policies underlying civil rights statutes.”); see also Perez
v. Cate, 632 F.3d 553, 556 (9th Cir. 2011) (awarding paralegal fees “at the market rate” to extent
permitted under the PLRA). At the same time, reducing the paralegal’s rates in light of the PLRA
cap on attorney rates is in keeping with the legislative intent behind the PLRA. See, e.g., Roberson
v. Brassell, 29 F. Supp. 2d 346, 353 (S.D. Tex. 1998) (reducing paralegal rates “in line with the
attorneys’ reduced rates”); Ilick v. Miller, 68 F. Supp. 2d 1169, 1179–80 (D. Nev. 1999) (“Leaving
the rates charged for paralegal and law clerk work at the pre-PLRA levels while reducing attorneys
rates to $112.50 per hour as dictated by the PLRA is, to say the least, disproportionate. . . . Given
the clear congressional intent behind the enactment of the fee caps in the PLRA, the court has little
choice but to reduce the fees allowed for law clerks and paralegals to some degree.”).
2. Reasonable Hours
The Court next must review the hours expended by the attorneys to ensure that they are
reasonable. “The party seeking an award of fees should submit evidence supporting the hours
worked and rates claimed.” Hensley, 461 U.S. at 433. Inadequate documentation requires
reduction of the fee award. Id. Furthermore, the Court “should exclude from this initial fee
calculation hours that were not ‘reasonably expended.’ Cases may be overstaffed, and the skill
8
and experience of lawyers vary widely.” Id., at 434. In addition, the PLRA requires the Court to
order reimbursement of only those attorneys’ fees that were “directly and reasonably incurred in
proving an actual violation” of Plaintiff’s rights. 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(d)(1).
Plaintiffs seek compensation for over 2,070 hours of attorney time and 59.2 hours of
paralegal time, which was devoted to motion practice, client communications, locating and
evaluating expert witnesses, and preparing for the evidentiary hearing regarding injunctive relief
for Defendants’ constitutional violations.
Defendants raise multiple arguments in favor of reducing the hours claimed by the
Plaintiffs. First, they argue that, because Plaintiffs did not prevail on their statutory claim, their
award should be reduced accordingly. Second, they argue that Plaintiffs’ time records show
“excessive billing.” Third, Defendants argue that a volume discount is appropriate because
taxpayers will bear the costs here. The Court considers these arguments in turn.
A. Whether Plaintiffs’ Hours Should Be Discounted
to Account for Summary Judgment in Favor of
Defendants on Plaintiffs’ Statutory Claim
Defendants argue that, because Plaintiffs did not prevail on their claim alleging violation
of the Missouri statute enacted in response to Montgomery, which was one of the five claims that
Plaintiffs asserted in this case, their billable hours should be discounted.
The Supreme Court has noted that in some civil rights cases, “the plaintiff’s claims for
relief will involve a common core of facts or will be based on related legal theories. Much of
counsel’s time will be devoted generally to the litigation as a whole, making it difficult to divide
the hours expended on a claim-by-claim basis. Such a lawsuit cannot be viewed as a series of
discrete claims. Instead the district court should focus on the significance of the overall relief
9
obtained by the plaintiff in relation to the hours reasonably expended on the litigation.” Hensley,
461 U.S. at 435.
Here, in ruling on the parties’ motions for summary judgment, the Court expressly
observed that the “five claims are based on the same alleged conduct.” Thus, in this case, the
Court cannot take a piecemeal approach to Plaintiffs’ time, but must focus on the significance of
the overall relief that Plaintiffs obtained. Plaintiffs prevailed on four out of five claims, securing
injunctive relief on the basis of proven constitutional violations. It would be inappropriate to
discount their time because one of the five claims, brought under a statute enacted to address the
constitutional principles at issue in the other claims, did not succeed on the evidence presented at
the summary judgment stage. See Maule v. Nicholson, No. CIV 04-1369, 2006 WL 3758390, at
*2 (D. Minn. Dec. 20, 2006) (declining to reduce request for fees based on plaintiff’s not
succeeding on two of the three claims asserted where plaintiff nonetheless “achieved excellent
results”). This is particularly so because the statutory claim here was just an alternative legal
ground for securing the very relief that Plaintiffs ultimately successfully secured through their
constitutional claims. As the Supreme Court has stated, “Litigants in good faith may raise
alternative legal grounds for a desired outcome, and the court’s rejection of or failure to reach
certain grounds is not a sufficient reason for reducing a fee.” Id.
B. Whether Plaintiffs’ Time Entries Show Excessive Billing
Defendants argue that “[m]any of Plaintiffs’ counsel’s time entries” are excessive and
should be disallowed. The only category of purportedly “excessive” entries that Defendants
mention is “internal communication.” Defendants do not point to specific examples of internal
communications that should be discounted; instead, they ask that time for all such communications
be eliminated.
10
Having reviewed the time entries of Plaintiffs’ counsel, the Court finds that they are
sufficiently detailed to permit analysis, and the analysis shows that the discussions and
correspondence were relevant to the case. See, e.g., p. 7 (listing call to discuss mediation, call to
discuss data management, call to discuss prison transport). In a case concerning constitutional
issues affecting a class of plaintiffs, “internal” communications between attorneys to delegate
assignments, coordinate litigation strategy, and discuss legal theories is reasonable.
In support of their position that fees for “internal” communications are not recoverable,
Defendants cite an interpleader case, Western-Southern Life Assur. Co. v. Lee, No. 13-CV-2499
CEJ, 2015 WL 2124753, *4 (E.D. Mo. May 6, 2015). However, the standard for awarding fees in
an interpleader case is very different. As the Lee court noted, only “attorney fees billed to prepare
the complaint, obtain service of process on the claimants to the fund, and secure the plaintiff’s
discharge from liability and dismissal from the lawsuit” are recoverable in an interpleader action.
Nor are the two other cases that Defendants cite relevant to the question of whether internal
communications are compensable in a civil rights action. See Cooper v. Pentecost, 77 F.3d 829,
832 (5th Cir. 1996) (affirming district court’s finding that some attorney hours were duplicative
and some tasks should have taken less time to complete); Maule, 2006 WL 3758390, at *2
(reducing fees because of excessive and duplicative time entries). Defendants do not suggest that
Plaintiffs’ entries here show one attorney performing the same tasks that another purportedly
performed, nor do they argue with any specificity that Plaintiffs spent too much time on any given
task.
Nonetheless, the natural consequence of so many lawyers working on a single case is a
large number of times entries for coordination between and consultation among counsel. While it
is not unreasonable to task a number of attorneys with work on a case of this nature and scope, this
11
kind of staffing necessarily comes with inefficiencies, as specifically shown in the billing records
before the Court. To account for such inefficiencies, the Court finds that a 10% reduction in the
hours of the attorneys alone is appropriate See Albright v. Bi-State Dev. Agency of MissouriIllinois Metro. Dist., No. 11CV01691 AGF, 2013 WL 4855304, at *4 (E.D. Mo. Sept. 11, 2013)
(reducing hours “to account for the inefficiencies engendered by the involvement of three law
firms in the case”).
Defendants’ argument regarding the time that Plaintiffs’ counsel spent strategizing with
outside organizations regarding the case, including on the issue of an appropriate remedy, is
unconvincing. Time spent consulting with organizations that specialize in the legal and factual
matters at the heart of this litigation is analogous to time spent conferring with a formally retained
expert, and it is no less compensable.
Finally, in response to Defendants’ argument that press statements are not appropriately
charged to Defendants, Plaintiffs have withdrawn their request for compensation for 2.8 hours that
Husch attorneys billed for, inter alia, discussion and analysis of press issues. The Court has
adjusted the lodestar calculation accordingly.
C. Volume Discount
Defendants argue that Plaintiffs’ fees should be reduced by 10%, citing Fields v. R.L. Hurst
Inc., No. 14CV00137 JLH, 2015 WL 13331928, at *2 (E.D. Ark. Nov. 9, 2015). However, in
Fields, plaintiffs’ counsel themselves proposed a 10% reduction to their fees. Plaintiffs here have
made no such concession. Fields is not relevant on this issue.
Defendants also argue that a volume discount is warranted because the fees and costs
ultimately will be paid by Missouri taxpayers. Taxpayers of some sort typically bear the cost of
litigation in civil rights cases when the plaintiff succeeds. If a special discount were warranted for
12
that reason alone, then the legislature would have built a discount into Section 1983. However,
outside of capping the hourly rate through the PLRA, the legislature did not do so.
Plaintiffs’ counsel exercised billing judgment even prior to submitting their fee request to
the Court. They chose not to seek recovery for time billed by former counsel of record Mae Quinn
and Matt Gartner because their time entries were insufficiently detailed; they also declined to seek
fees for MacArthur Justice Center law clerks and 15 additional individuals at Husch Blackwell—
lawyers, law clerks, paralegals, and support staff—who assisted with this litigation in a more
ancillary capacity. Affidavit of Amy E. Breihan (Doc. 188-1) ¶¶ 4-5; Affidavit of Matthew D.
Knepper (Doc. 188-3) ¶ 12.
The Court will not impose a further discount here without any factual or legal basis.

The Court finds that the fee produced through the lodestar calculation is fair. See
Stallsworth v. Staff Mgmt. SMX, LLC, No. 17-CV-4178-NKL, 2018 WL 2125952, at *1 (W.D.
Mo. May 8, 2018) (“There is a strong presumption that the lodestar calculation represents a
reasonable fee award.”) (citing City of Burlington v. Dague, 505 U.S. 557, 562 (1992)); see also
Perdue v. Kenny A., 559 U.S. 542, 552 (2010) (stating that “the lodestar method yields a fee that
is presumptively sufficient to achieve [the] objective” of “induc[ing] a capable attorney to
undertake the representation of a meritorious civil rights case”). This case was important and
concerned constitutional issues, including issues of first impression, that required sophisticated
and creative legal thinking. Because Plaintiffs have “won excellent results,” they are “entitled to
a fully compensatory fee award . . .” Jenkins, 127 F.3d at 716.
b. Expenses
“Reasonable expenses of litigation incurred by counsel on the prevailing side can be
awarded as part of the fees due under Section 1988.” Sapa Najin v. Gunter, 857 F.2d 463, 465
(8th Cir. 1988). The expenses must be “[r]easonable expenses of the kind a law firm would
ordinarily bill to its client.” Barrett v. Claycomb, No. 2:11–CV–04242–NKL, 2013 WL 6920860
at *4 (W.D. Mo. Dec. 9, 2013).
Plaintiffs have incurred $33,163.81 in expert-related expenses, $272.93 in records and
mailing expenses, and $1,013.41 in travel expenses (for depositions, limited meetings with clients,
and court appearances). Defendants do not suggest that any of the costs Plaintiffs incurred in
connection with this case are unreasonable. The Court, having reviewed the documentation of
expenses submitted by Plaintiffs’ counsel, sees no reason for disallowing any expense.
14
III.
CONCLUSION
For the reasons discussed above, the Court grants the motion for fees and expenses. The
Court awards to Plaintiffs’ counsel a total of $433,255.39 in fees and $35,374.45 in costs.
