Case No.: 17-2476

Officials: BAUER, BARRETT, and ST. EVE, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Fee Award – Attorney’s Fees

This is the third time World Outreach Conference Center’s (World Outreach) long-running dispute with the City of Chicago has appeared before us. See World Outreach Conference Ctr. v. City of Chicago, 591 F.3d 531 (7th Cir. 2009) (“World Outreach I”); World Outreach Conference Ctr. v. City of Chicago, 787 F.3d 839 (7th Cir. 2015) (“World Outreach II”). In this appeal, World Outreach contends that the district court erred by making a 70% across-the-board reduction to its award of attorney’s fees. We find no reason to disrupt the district court’s determination and affirm.
