The district court calculated attorney’s fees attributable
solely to the work performed in litigating appellees’
42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims and applied 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(d) to
those fees. It calculated attorney’s fees solely attributable to
appellees’ § 52.1 claims as well as fees that were as readily
available to appellees’ § 52.1 claims as to their § 1983 claims,
and applied § 52.1(h) to those fees. The district court did not
abuse its discretion in so doing. See Bouman v. Block,
940 F.2d 1211, 1230, 1237 (9th Cir. 1991) (holding that the
district court did not abuse its discretion in awarding fees
under a California statute in excess of those allowed under
federal law, where the plaintiff challenged the same
discriminatory conduct under state and federal law).
