CARPENETI, Justice.
I. INTRODUCTION
Don Lowell sued the City of Fairbanks (the city), James Hayes, and Herbert Kuss for defamation and violation of his civil rights. He sought actual and punitive damages, as well as declaratory relief. The superior court dismissed his civil rights claim and his request for declaratory judgment and granted summary judgment to defendants on the defamation claim. The court then awarded defendants enhanced attorney’s fees under Rules 68 and 37. We affirm all of the superior court’s rulings.
