Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit March 18, 1981, No. 80-1044 (Bonnes v. Long)

lead-opinion

JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, Circuit Judge:

This is an appeal from the district court’s decision denying an award of attorney’s fees to plaintiffs under 42 U.S.C. § 1988. The district court rendered its decision following an evidentiary hearing on plaintiffs’ right to attorney’s fees that was mandated by our earlier remand of this case. See Bonnes v. Long, 599 F.2d 1316 (4th Cir. 1979).
