BIRCH, Circuit Judge:
This case raises the question of the viability and scope of the "catalyst" test, which is a means of determining whether a party who did not receive a judgment or formal settlement in its favor is a "prevailing party" under 42 U.S.C. § 1988 and other fee-shifting statutes. Because we hold that the catalyst test remains available in this circuit and because the district court incorrectly applied the catalyst test, we VACATE and REMAND.
