Description
This appeal arises out of the litigation concerning the beating death of Malice Green at the hands of several Detroit police officers on November 5, 1992. The Estate of Malice Green ("the Estate") brought wrongful death and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims against the City of Detroit, resulting in a settlement of $5.25 million. The district court finalized the settlement in a consent judgment on July 18, 1994. One of the attorneys for the Estate, Ernest Jarrett, now appeals a subsequent order of the district court denying his motion for discovery concerning the validity of the contingency fee agreement between the Estate and the Estate's attorneys and denying Jarrett any share in the accrued interest on the escrowed settlement funds.
