No. 82-1953.

704 F.2d 380 (1983)

In re ILLINOIS CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS REAPPORTIONMENT CASES.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided April 5, 1983.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Steven F. Molo, Chicago, Ill., for defendants-appellants.

Kevin M. Forde, Chicago, Ill., for plaintiffs-appellees.

Before PELL and POSNER, Circuit Judges, and BONSAL, Senior District Judge.

PELL, Circuit Judge.

In this case we decide whether the district court properly increased a concededly appropriate civil rights attorney's fee award by a factor of three primarily because of the complexity of the case and the high quality of the legal work performed by the attorneys for the prevailing party. Appellants Illinois and the Illinois State Board of Elections contend that the multiplier used was excessive and unjustified.
