The court reduced the amount of sanctions awarded for repeated discovery misconduct by eight percent (from $42,923.75 to $39,489.85) because plaintiff's counsel billed time in quarter-hour increments. "The Court finds that quarter hours inherently enhance the amount of fees and do not reflect the hours reasonably worked, compared to one-tenth hour increments."
