1Opinion of the Court
WARDLAW, Circuit Judge:
Wilfred George, an unnamed class member who failed to intervene in the proceedings below, appeals the district court’s order awarding attorneys’ fees to class counsel in the amount of thirty percent of the settlement. We hold that because George filed an objection to the fee request in the district court, he has standing to pursue this appeal. We also determine that, although the district court properly calculated the attorneys’ fees as a percentage of the gross settlement amount, it did not adequately explain the basis for the award. We therefore vacate the order…
