On January 22, 1980, the Court resolved the merits of the instant case, holding, inter alia, that consummation of the proposed lease sale would violate the ESA[4] and NEPA.[5] The Court found no violations of the OCSLA.[6] On May 1, 1980, the Court ruled that Plaintiffs were entitled to "reasonable attorneys' fees for all litigation involving the [ESA and OCSLA]," that they were not so entitled for litigation involving other aspects of the instant case, and that "in areas common to both fee-providing and non fee-providing statutes, such as the preparation of facts, Plaintiffs are to be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees for all time spent on those common issues."[7]
