United States Ninth Circuit
Klein v. City of Laguna Beach, 13-56973
In a 42 U.S.C. section 1988 attorney's fees action, the district court's order denying fees under federal law is vacated and remanded where plaintiff's lawsuit achieved its future-oriented goals and is not subject to the exception of Farrar v. Hobby, 506 U.S. 103 (1992). The court affirmed the district court's denial of fees under California law.
