Stefen H. Weiss, Deputy County Counsel, Santa Ana, CA, for defendants-appellants.

Dan Stormer, Hadsell & Stormer, Pasadena, CA, for plaintiffs-appellees.

Before: BEEZER, KOZINSKI and KLEINFELD, Circuit Judges.

BEEZER, Circuit Judge:

Sheriff Brad Gates and the other defendants appeal the district court's award of $100,000 in attorney fees under 42 U.S.C. § 1988. Defendants do not dispute the $2539.24 award for costs incurred by plaintiffs' attorneys. The underlying civil rights litigation concerns prison conditions in Orange County, California. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we reverse and remand the fee award.
