GARY L. LANCASTER, Chief Judge.
This is a civil rights action in which a group of convicted sex offenders challenged the enforceability of an Allegheny County Ordinance that restricted their residency, as well as that of all such offenders. On March 20, 2009, we issued an opinion finding that the Ordinance was void and unenforceable because it was preempted by state law. Fross v. County of Allegheny, 612 F.Supp.2d 651 (W.D.Pa. 2009). The Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has now affirmed that ruling and remanded the case for consideration of the issue of attorney’s fees.
