Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit May 30, 1984, No. 83-5121 (El Club Del Barrio, Inc. v. United Community Corp.)

OPINION OF THE COURT

BECKER, Circuit Judge.

The issue on appeal is whether the failure of the parties to a civil rights suit to have provided for attorneys fees in a written settlement agreement creates a “special circumstance” depriving a prevailing plaintiff in the underlying action of its right to reasonable attorneys fees under 42 U.S.C. § 1988 (1976).
