Description

The United States Supreme court has granted certiorari and remanded this case in light of its recent decision in Farrar v. Hobby, 506 U.S. , 121 L. Ed. 2d 494, 113 S. Ct. 566 (1992). In Farrar, it was held in a case in which judgment was entered on the merits that a one-dollar nominal damage award was sufficient to make the recipient a prevailing party and satisfied that prong of 42 U.S.C. § 1988. In then considering the reasonable attorney's fee prong of § 1988, the Supreme Court affirmed the denial of any attorney's fee in the case in which there was a request for seventeen million dollars in damages with a recovery of one dollar. Farrar stated that ""in some circumstances, even a plaintiff who formally 'prevails' under § 1988 should receive no attorney's fees at all."" Farrar, 113 S. Ct. at 575 .
