OPINION
KAPLAN, District Judge.
This Section 1983 action has its genesis in plaintiff Abe Hirschfeld’s unsuccessful 1992 campaign for election to the U.S. House of Representatives. Mr. Hirsehfeld at that time prevailed in a Section 1983 suit against the Board of Elections and thus required that his name be placed on the ballot. He now sues again, seeking to recover damages for the Board’s 1992 actions as well as attorneys’ fees for the prior litigation. The matter is before this Court on defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint.
