Case No. 10-114 Ricky D. Fox v. Billy Ray Vice, Chief of Police for the Town of Vinton, and Town of Vinton

Brief of Amici Curiae

by State and Local Legal Center

Issue: 1) Whether defendants can be awarded attorney's fees under 42 U.S.C. § 1988 in an action based on a dismissal of a claim, when the plaintiff has asserted other interrelated and non-frivolous claims; and 2) whether it is improper to award defendants all of the attorney's fees they incurred in an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1988, when the fees were spent defending non-frivolous claims that were intertwined with the frivolous claim.
