1Opinion of the Court
BAUER, Circuit Judge.
This case involves an award of attorney’s fees to the State of Wisconsin under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(e), the fee-shifting provision governing improper removal. The principal issue is whether § 1447(c), which authorizes payment of “actual” attorney’s fees “incurred” in resisting removal, permits salaried government attorneys to recover at prevailing market rates. The district court concluded that it does. Because we believe that the provision limits a fee award to actual outlays, we vacate the award and remand for further proceedings.
