SELYA, Circuit Judge.
This appeal stems from a discrimination suit filed by plaintiff-appellant Marie M. Ma-lave against her quondam employer, Carney Hospital (the Hospital). 1 In the underlying case, Malave alleged disparate treatment on the basis of disability, race, and national origin. In the midst of discovery, the opposing lawyers agreed to a $15,000 settlement.
