Description
Plaintiff ("Clarke") appeals from orders of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, (Carol Bagley Amon and John L. Caden, Magistrate Judges), awarding him $88,694.63 in back pay, plus pre-judgment interest, for violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, et seq., ("Title VII") committed by defendant United States Postal Service ("Postal Service"). Clarke also appeals from the district courts post-trial order granting him $24,000 in attorneys fees, rather than the $82,160 he had requested. The Postal Service cross-appeals from the district courts post-trial order denying its motion to strike the award of prejudgment interest, and also contests the decision to award attorneys fees. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand to the district court with instructions.
