OPINION OF THE COURT
SAROKIN, Circuit Judge:
Appellant filed various claims against his former employer alleging racial discrimination and retaliatory harassment and discharge as a result of his pursuit of discrimination claims in agency proceedings. He eventually prevailed on the retaliation claim, though not on the claim of pre-retaliation discrimination. At the conclusion of the proceedings, Appellant petitioned for attorneys’ fees, and his request was reduced by the district court by more than eighty percent. He now appeals the reduction of the fee award.
