Accordingly, the Court finds that the following charges pertaining to the initial pleadings should be reduced by half: regarding Verified Complaint and make revisions accordingly; Draft Brief ISO OTSC; Draft Proposed Order; OTSC; Proof all documents and file lawsuit; Communications with client re: process; [Griffin Cert., Exh. D]. In addition, as a seasoned OPRA attorney who lists no less than thirteen (13) OPRA cases in her would be familiar with preparing and filing fee applications. Accordingly, the Court also reduces Id. Between these three charges, the Court hereby reduces the $4,350.00 that was originally billed to $2,175.00. Subtracted from the $ recover in the instant application, this amounts to a total of $6,000.90. The Court finds that $6,000.90 more accurately reflects the amount of work required for an experienced attorney in the instant matter. Although Plaintiff technically prevailed in this OPRA matter, this case did not present particularly unique or difficult issues. Plaintiff received the relief she requested contemporaneously with when she initiated the case, and the Court welcomed the parties to dismiss the matter after the Court was informed that Plaintiff had received the BWC footage. Considering this context, the Court requested fees 15 Pa056
