matrix_8.html (last visited Aug. 8, 2011). Because the plaintiff does not indicate when Hamlett graduated from law school, the court has calculated her appropriate hourly rate based on her bar admission date. 5 . Although the District of Columbia is statutorily limited in the award that it may pay, the court may award attorney’s fees and costs greater than the cap. Calloway v. District of Columbia, 216 F.3d 1, 3 (D.C.Cir.2000). The court, however, cannot enforce the payment of any award above the fee cap amount. See Jaclcson, 603 F.Supp.2d at 96 (limiting the plaintiffs' recovery to $4,000 but noting that the court is not precluded from awarding fees above the cap); see also Pullins-Graham v. District of Columbia, 2004 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 27805, at **11-12 (D.D.C. Sept. 16, 2004)
