Description

SHADUR, Senior District Judge. This fee dispute stems from an offshoot of a 1985 civil rights action that sought the reform of the conditions and treatment
of severely handicapped patients at Hissom Memorial Center ("Hissom"), a residential facility in Sand Springs, Oklahoma.1
In 1987 the district court ordered a severance of the issue of the education of school-age children at Hissom because that
issue did not concern conditions or treatment at the Center. Accordingly a separate action was brought on behalf of a class
of those children against Oklahoma's Department of Education ("Education Department") and Department of Human Services ("Human
Services Department"),2 Sand Springs School District ("Sand Springs") and nine individuals, seeking relief under (1) 42
U.S.C. § 1983 ("Section 1983"), (2) the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ("IDEA," 20 U.S.C. §§
1400-1484a)3 and (3) the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794).
