J.M. Raffauf, Decatur, and Elizabeth Joan Appley, Atlanta, Ga., for plaintiff-appellant.

Marva Jones Brooks, Office of Atlanta City Atty. and Mary Carole Cooney, Deputy City Atty., Atlanta, Ga., for defendants-appellees.

Before CLARK and BIRCH, Circuit Judges, and COFFIN, Senior Circuit Judge.


PER CURIAM:

Spanning over a decade of litigation, this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, involving the beating and shooting death of an arrestee by Atlanta policemen, again is before this court. The sole issue on appeal is our review of the district court's attorney's fee and cost award after remand. Because the district court has not stated its reasoning or bases for making its award, regrettably, we must remand this case for clarification.
