CABRALES v. COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES

No. 90-55990.

935 F.2d 1050 (1991)

Josefina CABRALES, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES; Ronald Black, Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided June 7, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Marion R. Yagman, Stephen Yagman, Yagman & Yagman, P.C., Venice, Cal., for plaintiff-appellant.

Kevin C. Brazile, Sr. Deputy County Counsel, Los Angeles, Cal., for defendants-appellees.

Before KOZINSKI and O'SCANNLAIN, Circuit Judges, and McNAMEE, District Judge.


KOZINSKI, Circuit Judge:

Josefina Cabrales won her civil rights lawsuit; she has a $150,000 jury award to prove it. En route to her ultimate victory, however, Cabrales suffered a temporary setback when the Supreme Court granted certiorari, vacated her judgment and remanded for reconsideration in light of a recent case. We consider whether she is entitled to attorney's fees for her unsuccessful opposition to that certiorari petition.
