No. 85-4771.

804 F.2d 321 (1986)

Mrs. Tobie BRANTLEY, Plaintiff-Appellant, Cross-Appellee, v. M.F. SURLES, etc., et al., Defendants-Appellees, Cross-Appellants.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

November 17, 1986.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles L. Lewis, Jr., Louisville, Miss., for plaintiff-appellant, cross-appellee.

John L. Low, IV, Watkins & Eager, Jackson, Miss., for defendants-appellees, cross-appellants.

Before CLARK, Chief Judge, WISDOM, and HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judges.

CLARK, Chief Judge:

This is the third time that Tobie Brantley has been before this court in connection with her § 1983 claim against the Montgomery County, Mississippi School District that her 1976 discharge was wrongful. In the latest episode, the district court awarded Brantley $15,880.85 in backpay and $37,500.00 in attorney's fees. Brantley appeals both awards, while the school district cross-appeals only the award of attorney's fees. We affirm.
