MEMORANDUM and ORDER
TENNEY, District Judge.
This is a motion for attorneys’ fees and costs under the Civil Rights Attorney’s Fees Award Act of 1976, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 1988 (1976 & Supp. V 1981), and under 28 U.S.C. § 1920 (1976) and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 54(d) and 56. Plaintiffs originally requested an award of $104,986.45. Subsequent to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in New York State Association for Retarded Children, Inc. v. Carey, 711 F.2d 1136 (2d Cir. June 15, 1983), the plaintiffs indicated that an award of approximately $50,000 would be appropriate.
