IMO Indus., Inc. lodestar, the trial court must first determine the reasonableness of the hourly rates charged by the Id. (quoting Rendine, 141 N.J. at 337). trial court must then determine the reasonableness of the Id. at 159-60 (citing Furst v. Einstein Moomjy, Inc., 182 N.J. 1, 22 (2004)). hours the prevailing attorney devoted to any part of a case are excessive ul Id. at 160 (quoting Furst, 182 N.J. at 22-23). V. disclose information without merit. Defendant offers no authority or decisions that details the authority of the Prosecutor, as the chief law enforcement officer in Monmouth County, to disclose the records in question. Even counsel for the Monmouth County Chiefs of Police Association, a former First Assistant County Prosecutor himself, acknowledged that the Prosecutor had the authority to disclose the information. Any suggestion that the court failed to consider the policy reasons that favor confidentiality, is more indicative of defendant and attempt to reargue an issue already decided, than it is of their proper use of a motion for reconsideration. Both defendant and amici fail to apply the balancing test with reference to the specific records at issue and instead offer broad policy interests that support confidentiality. 5 Pa037
