1. “Woodharbor also appeals the district court’s award of attorney’s fees to Miller, contending Miller’s claimed fees were inadequately documented. We agree. As the district court stated, Miller “failed to consistently identify the subject matter of the work performed” and repeatedly failed “to specify the substance or content of’ billed tasks. The district court noted Miller’s generalized billing hindered “the court’s ability to conduct a meaningful review of both the fee application and of [Woodhar-bor’s] attendant complaints.” If the district court concludes on remand that Miller is still entitled to recover on her hostile work environment claim, the district court should request a more detailed billing before awarding attorney’s fees or should consider a percentage reduction for inadequate documentation. See Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 436-37 , 437 n. 12, 103 S.Ct. 1933 , 76 L.Ed.2d 40 (1983); H.J. Inc. v. Flygt Corp., 925 F.2d 257, 260 (8th Cir.1991).”
