HENRY, Circuit Judge.
This case is before us on appeal from the district court's order denying the plaintiffs' petition for an award of attorney's fees under 42 U.S.C. § 1988. The district court found that while the plaintiffs were a "prevailing party" for purposes of awarding fees, the plaintiffs' degree of success on their claims did not justify an award. We exercise jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and reverse and remand.
