Pending before this Court is plaintiffs’ motion for attorneys’ fees under the Civil Rights Attorney’s Fees Awards Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. § 1988 (1982) (“§ 1988”). The underlying case is a class action 1 that challenged the constitutionality of certain rental practices in five housing developments in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, New York.
