Lueker v. First National Bank of Boston (Guernsey) Ltd.

McKAY, Circuit Judge.

Defendant First National Bank of Boston (Guernsey) Limited (hereinafter “Guernsey”) appeals from the district court’s denial of its request for attorneys’ fees. Guernsey sought attorneys’ fees pursuant to New Mexico law for dissolution of a wrongfully obtained preliminary injunction. The district court refused this request, because it believed that Guernsey had engaged in inequitable conduct. We hold, however, that Guernsey is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees. Thus, we reverse and remand for determination of a reasonable fee award.
