IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE 

MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA, NORTHERN DIVISION 

JOHN DILLARD, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

Ve CIVIL ACTION 
No. 87-T7-1201~N 

CITY OF ELBA, 

Defendants. 

PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR AWARD OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES 
  

Plaintiffs John Dillard, et al., through undersigned 

counsel, pursuant to this Court’s Judgment and Injunction of July 

28, 1993, move the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees and 

expenses connected with the prosecution of the claims set out in 

their motion for additional relief and related matters. As 

grounds for their motion, plaintiffs would show as follows: 

l. Said judgment and injunction of July 28, 1993, granted 

plaintiffs full relief and ruled that they were prevailing 

parties entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to 

which plaintiffs are entitled under 42 U.S.C. sections 19731 and 

1988. 

2. Attached hereto is the affidavit of undersigned counsel, 

on behalf of himself and Edward Still, both of whom represented 

the plaintiffs in this action, and which detail the time expended 

by them in connection with these proceedings: 

Attorney Hours 
  

James U. Blacksher 18.60 

 



- 

" 

~ 

Edward Still 4.40 

  

3. Plaintiffs’ attorneys have incurred expenses in the 

following amounts: 

James U. Blacksher $83.82 

Edward Still $4.64" 

4. Plaintiffs’ attorneys undertook this action on an 

entirely contingent fee basis. That is to say, plaintiffs’ 

attorneys were not entitled to receive compensation unless and 

until they prevailed and recovered fees pursuant to a court 

award. Representing plaintiffs in civil rights litigation is 

still considered undesirable by many members of the Alabama Bar. 

Voting rights litigation is a specialized area of law, and 

plaintiffs’ attorneys have extensive experience and possess 

special expertise in this area. Plaintiffs’ attorneys have 

obtained complete relief for their clients and have protected 

important federal voting rights for black citizens. 

5. The affidavits of Mr. Blacksher attached hereto reflect 

the attorneys’ customary hourly billing rate in this action. 

Consent decrees approved by the Court have included fees computed 

at these rates. In other voting rights litigation, plaintiffs’ 

attorneys have been awarded $300 per hour in a contested and 

adjudicated order. Lawrence v. City of Talladega, CA No. 91-C- 

1340-M (N.D. Ala., May 17, 1993). A higher rate of $350 per hour 

is justified in this action because of the economies of time and 

  

! This includes $4.00 from Mr. Still’s general Dillard 4 
expenses. 

 



  

resources provided by plaintiffs’ undertaking to enforce 

redistricting in approximately 70 local jurisdictions. The 

undesirability of this litigation, the difficulty and novelty of 

the questions presented, the ability and expertise of plaintiffs’ 

attorneys, the results obtained, the number of hours expended, 

and the customary hourly rates charged by these attorneys justify 

recovery of the following fees and expenses: 

  

  

  

  

FEES 

Name Hours Hourly rate Total 

James U. Blacksher 18.60 $350 $6,510.00 

Edward Still 4.40 $350 $1,540.00 

Total 43.75 $8,050.00 

EXPENSES 

James U. Blacksher $83.81 

Edward Still S$ 4.64 

Demographer expenses $375.00 

Total expenses $463.45 

TOTAL FEES AND EXPENSES: $8,513.45 

WHEREFORE, plaintiffs pray that this Court will enter a 

judgment in their favor against the defendant City of Elba in the 

amount of $8,513.45. 

Respectfully submitted this 31st day of August, 1993.

Plaintiffs, 

Ve. CIVIL ACTION 
No. 87-T-1201-N 

CITY OF ELBA, 

Defendants. 

STATEMENT OF JAMES U. BLACKSHER UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY 
  

I, James U. Blacksher, declare under penalty of perjury, 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. sec. 1746, as follows: 

l. I am one of the attorneys for plaintiffs in this action 

and have been since the beginning of the litigation. Edward 

Still has been my cocounsel from the beginning as well. 

2. I was admitted to practice in 1971. I served for one 

year as a law clerk to the Hon. Frank H. McFadden, United States 

District Judge for the Northern District of Alabama. I am 

engaged in the private practice of law in Birmingham, Alabama. 

The entirety of my practice consists of federal civil litigation 

in the areas of voting rights and civil rights law. Mr. Still 

also was admitted to practice in 1971, and his practice has been 

similar to mine. Both of us participated in most of the major 

voting rights cases in Alabama, and in several important cases in 

the U.S. Supreme Court. We have special expertise in the voting 

rights area. 

4. Our current hourly billing rate for voting rights 

 



  

litigation is $350 plus out-of-pocket expenses. This rate is 

consistent with the rates we have been awarded by agreement in 

this action and with rates adjudicated in other voting rights 

cases in this Court and in the Northern District of Alabama. 

5. Attached hereto are copies of our time and expense 

reports for the above styled aspects of this case. All time was 

contemporaneously recorded and entered into a computer database. 

These reports are divided into time expended entirely on the City 

of Elba case and time expended generally on Dillard 4, which 

cannot be assigned to any particular jurisdiction. We have 

assigned four hours of Mr. Still’s general time and three hours 

of my general time to Elba. In addition, our demographers are 

entitled to be paid for 5.0 hours at $75 per hour for the time 

spent preparing the redistricting plan eventually adopted by the 

Court. 

6. We handled this matter on a contingent basis with the 

understanding that our sole source of fee would be a court- 

awarded fee if we prevailed. 

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is 

SU (Labelle _ 
(Jgmes~U. Blacksher 

true and correct. 

Executed this 3( day of due Lr 1993,
