Corey Fleming Hirokawa, Jeffrey O. Bramlett, Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore, Atlanta, GA, for SECTION PlaintiffSECTION s-Appellees-Cross-Appellants. Before CARNES, WILSON and HILL, Circuit Judges. CARNES, Circuit Judge When asked how much money would be enough for him, John D. Rockefeller reportedly said Just a little bit more. 1 The attorneys for the plaintiff class in this case want more than just a little bit more. They want a lot more money than they would receive from multiplying the number of hours they worked on this case by the hourly rate they charge. And the district court gave them a lot more — more — out of the pockets of the taxpayers of Georgia. Not caught up in the district court's spirit of generosity with their money, the Georgia taxpayers (through their governor and other officials who are defendants) have appealed the attorneys' fees award because of that multimillion dollar enhancement and for other reasons. The plaintiffs' attorneys, convinced that the district court was not generous enough, have crossappealed (through the class they represent), insisting that they deserve even more than the total fees that the court awarded them.

These deficiencies, according to the complaint, included (1) assigning excessive numbers of cases to inadequately trained and poorly supervised caseworkers; (2) not developing a sufficient number of foster homes properly screened to ensure the plaintiff children's safety; (3) not identifying adult relatives who could care for the plaintiff children as an alternative to strangers or impersonal institutions; (4) failing to provide relevant information and support services to foster parents in order to prevent foster placements from being disrupted; (5) failing to develop administrative controls such as an information management system that ensures plaintiff children are expeditiously placed in a foster home matched to meet the children's specific needs; (6) failing to pr

Summary: 


Foster children in Georgia's Fulton and DeKalb Counties brought suit against the state and counties Division of Family and Children Services. The class of children alleged that they did not receive necessary treatment and services while spending months in emergency shelters, experienced abuse and neglect as a result of an insufficient number of caseworkers, and received inadequate health care and emotional services while in foster care. In 2005 and 2006, the plaintiffs reached settlement agreements with the state, Fulton County, and DeKalb County. As of November 2018, the State is still under the supervision of the independent monitor in order to meet the court-ordered benchmarks, having not yet completed sufficient improvements.
