Court of Appeals for the First Circuit December 11, 1980, 80-1282 (John Furtado v. Harold Bishop)

COFFIN, Chief Judge.

This is the second time that this suit for the award of attorneys’ fees in a civil rights action has been before us. In our first review, we affirmed a jury award against prison officials stemming from their use of excessive force, false reporting, and suppression of communication against prisoners.

Furtado v. Bishop,

604 F.2d 80 (1st Cir. 1979)

(“Furtado I”).
