MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
SHADUR, District Judge.
Jay Larson (“Larson”) 1 originally sued a number of defendants because of a December 20, 1980 shooting incident involving Villa Park and Addison police officers. Larson later added Complaint Count VI, naming Villa Park Police Chief William Kohnke (“Kohnke”) because of an allegedly misleading press release drafted by Kohnke the night of the shooting.
In the Opinion this Court granted Kohnke’s motion for summary judgment. Kohnke has now moved under 42 U.S.C. § 1988 (“Section 1988”) for an award of attorneys’ fees. His motion is granted.
