OPINION OF THE COURT
GIBBONS, Circuit Judge.
Rebecca Cunningham, a successful plaintiff in a civil action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1982) against the City of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, its building inspector, and others, appeals from the judgment awarding attorneys’ fees. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988 (1982), she requested a fee award of $35,887.50. The court awarded $5,875.00. Cunningham contends that the court erred in reducing the requested fees to this extent. Because the court did not properly apply the standards applicable for statutory fee awards in this circuit, we reverse.
