Higher Taste, Inc. v. City of Tacoma, 11-36046
In action under 42 U.S.C. 1983 in which plaintiff sought to continue to sell message-bearing T-shirts on public walkways in front of and leading to the entrance of the Tacoma Zoo, the district court's denial of plaintiff's motion for attorney's fees brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1988(b) is reversed and remanded, where the district court's preliminary injunction in plaintiff's favor and the parties' subsequent settlement agreement conferred prevailing party status on plaintiff for purposes of an attorney's fee award.
