1Opinion of the Court
NELSON, Circuit Judge: .
William F. Bolger, in his capacity as Postmaster General of the United States, appeals from the district court’s order awarding attorney fees, enhanced by a 1.5 multiplier factor, plus interest on those fees, to appellee Geraldine Hall. While we affirm the district court’s finding that an award of interest was appropriate, we must vacate that award so that the interest compounding method may be corrected. We also vacate the attorney fee award and remand for reconsideration in light of recent Supreme Court pronouncements.
