United States Tenth Circuit

Orders that resulted in a limited award of attorney's fees to plaintiff in a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 case arising from plaintiff's termination by defendant-county are affirmed where the court properly exercised its discretion as to one award of reduced fees which reflected the limited success of plaintiff's claims, and properly denied plaintiff's motion to reconsider since plaintiff entered into a private settlement without any judicial involvement and, as such, was not a prevailing party.
