Description
In this consolidated appeal, counsel for Plaintiffs Bailey and Hubbs ("counsel") challenges the amount of attorney's fees awarded by the district court pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b)(1). In each case, the district court concluded that the amount of hours claimed was unreasonable, why the claim was unreasonable, the amount of hours that would be reasonable and, without further explanation, arrived at a lump sum award. Because the district court failed to set forth sufficient findings in the record to support its conclusion and to enable us to conduct a meaningful review, we have no alternative but to vacate the judgments below and remand these cases for findings of fact and conclusions of law explaining the actions taken by the district court.
