L.A.R. Misc. 108.1: Application for Fees

(a) Except as otherwise provided by statute, all applications for an award of attorney's fees and other expenses relating to a case filed in this court, regardless of the source of authority for assessment, must be filed within 30 days after the entry of this court's judgment, unless a timely petition for panel rehearing or rehearing en banc has been filed, in which case a request for attorney's fees must be filed within 14 days after the court's disposition of such petition. Such application must be filed with the clerk in the time set forth above whether or not the parties seek further action in the case or further review from any court.

(b) The court will strictly adhere to the time set forth above and grant exceptions only in extraordinary circumstances.

(c) The application must include a short statement of the authority pursuant to which the party seeks the award. The application must also show the nature and extent of services rendered and the amount sought, including an itemized statement in affidavit form from the attorney stating the actual time expended and the rate at which fees are computed, together with a statement of expenses for which reimbursement is sought.

Prior Court Rule 27.1 has no counterpart in FRAP and is therefore classified as Miscellaneous. No substantive change from prior Court Rule 27.1 is intended. L.A.R. Misc. 108.3 addresses claims for attorney's fees and expenses under the Criminal Justice Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A. Petition for rehearing en banc was substituted for “suggestion for rehearing en banc” in 2008 to conform to changes in FRAP.
