MEMORANDUM OPINION
ROSEMARY M. COLLYER, District Judge.
The question before the Court is whether attorneys who appear in administrative hearings under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (“IDEIA”), 20 U.S.C. § 1400 et seq., should be compensated according to the Laffey Matrix 1 or the attorney fee guideline rates adopted by the District of Columbia Public Schools (“DCPS”). Persuaded by the Attorney General of the District of Columbia, the Court finds that the DCPS rates are applicable and appropriate in this case and will award attorneys’ fees accordingly.
