Gilmere v. City of Atlanta
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided May 17, 1991No. 90-8311PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Per curiam
Spanning over a decade of litigation, this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, involving the beating and shooting death of an arrestee by Atlanta policemen, again is before this court. The sole issue on appeal is our review of the district court’s attorney’s fee and cost award after remand. Because the district court has not stated its reasoning or bases for making its award, regrettably, we must remand this case for clarification.
