1Opinion of the Court
TANG, Circuit Judge:
Theresa Collins, the parent of a student at Chandler High School, brought a section 1983 action to enjoin Chandler Unified School District (Chandler) from permitting voluntary prayer at school assemblies. The district court granted the injunction but denied Collins’ request for attorneys’ fees under section 1988 because her own civil rights were not violated. Collins v. Chandler Unified School District, 470 F.Supp. 959, 964 (D.Az.1979). Collins appeals the denial of fees and Chandler cross-appeals the grant of a permanent injunction. We affirm the district court’s decision…
