MEMORANDUM & ORDER Currently before the Court is a motion for attorneys’ fees filed by Defendant County of Suffolk (the “County”) pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1988. See Motion, Docket Entry (“DE”) [96]. For the reasons set forth below, the motion is granted in part and denied in part. I. BACKGROUND Familiarity with the facts of this matter is assumed.1 The facts set forth herein are repeated to the extent necessary to address the pending motion. Plaintiffs own waterfront property in the Cherry Grove community on Fire Island and claimed that the Defendants violated their rights in connection with the design and implementation of the Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet Fire Island Stabilization Beach Restoration Project (the “FIMI Project”). Plaintiffs asserted various claims including, inter alia, claims of violations of the United States Constitution. As to the County, they claimed that it violated: (1) their rights to equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment (the “Equal Protection claim”); (2) their rights to procedural due process under the Fourteenth Amendment (the “Due Process claim”); and (3) their rights under the First Amendment (the “First Amendment claim”). The Equal Protection claim alleged that the County required Plaintiffs to grant perpetual easements over their property despite those properties having been allegedly excluded from the dune restoration provisions of the FIMI Project, while the Due Process claim alleged that the County failed to notify them about critical information about the project, thus depriving them of the opportunity to object at various points of the project’s approval process. The First Amendment claim, parenthetically entitled “Chilling of First Amendment Rights,” was added when the complaint was amended in December 2016. See Amended Complaint (“Am. Compl.”),
