A federal judge in Pittsburgh awarded nearly $2 million in attorney fees following a class-action settlement for $4.4 million with Sprint Communications and other companies that installed fiber-optic cables on railroad rights of way without approval from adjacent property owners.
U.S. District Judge Arthur J. Schwab of the Western District of Pennsylvania held a fairness hearing Monday morning and then issued his final approval of the settlement and attorney fees for the settlement class counsel later that day.
