JEROME BARROW, Plaintiff, v. THE CITY OF CLEVELAND, Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court upon the Plaintiff's Motion for Post Judgment Interest (ECF #99) and Remand Motion to Recover Costs under 28 U.S.C. § 1920 and Rule 54(d)(1)-(2) and for a Reasonable Attorney Fee under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(k).(ECF # 97) In his Motion for Post Judgment Interest (ECF #99) Plaintiff seeks the statutory PJI of 10% on his $59,000 Judgment on the Verdict and the awarded Costs and Attorney Fees from the date of Judgment February 7, 2018 through the date of Plaintiff's Motion- May 14, 2019, following the Sixth Circuit's denial of Defendant's appeal of the Judgment. Thus, Plaintiff seeks post judgment interest in the amount of $7,565.45 on the Judgment, $377.53 on the costs and $9,519.17 on the Attorney Fee award for a total award of $117,088.70. In his Remand Motion for costs and a reasonable attorney fee for the appeal in this matter (ECF #97), Plaintiff seeks $824.82 in costs and attorney fees in the amount of $39,800 for a total request of $40,624.82.
Defendant has not filed an opposition or response of any kind to Plaintiff's post-appeal motions. The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's requests and supporting documentation and has found the amounts requested to be adequately supported and reasonable. Therefore, Plaintiff's Motions (ECF #99 and ECF #97) are granted without objection in the amount of $117,088.70 and $40,624.82 respectively.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
