RULING ON MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES
JOSÉ A. CABRANES, District Judge:
This action was brought in 1980 against officials of the Connecticut State Police Department and a local police department, challenging defendants’ practice of searches of those attending Ku Klux Klan rallies. On June 30, 1986, this court held that weapons searches at such rallies violated Klan members’ Fourth Amendment rights, and the court enjoined state police from conducting such searches in the absence of individualized suspicion or probable cause.
