Arnie Rolf Braafladt v. The Board of Governors of the Oregon State Bar Association
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided December 26, 1985No. 85-3648PublishedCited by 26 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
J. BLAINE ANDERSON, Circuit Judge:
Oregon attorney Arnie Braafladt sued the Oregon Supreme Court in an attempt to void certain residency requirements of the Oregon Bar. The Oregon Supreme Court rescinded the challenged rule before final adjudication on the merits. After dismissing the 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, the district court denied Braafladt’s application for attorney’s fees. The district court found Braafladt did not qualify as a prevailing party under 42 U.S.C. § 1988. Braafladt appeals to this court and we affirm the district court’s decision.
