ORDER AND JUDGMENT**
HANSEN, District Judge.
Defendant-appellants appeal the award of attorney's fees by the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming following the entry of a declaratory judgment that an issued warrant was invalid under the Fourth Amendment. This case is a companion appeal to causes Central Wyoming Law Associates v. Denhardt, et al., No. 93-8118, F.3d (10th Cir. ____, 1995) and 93-8125. Because of our disposition of those cases, plaintiff-appellee does not qualify as a prevailing party under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1988. We need not reach the issues raised by defendants-appellants. The judgment of the district court granting Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney's Fees is, therefore, REVERSED.
The Honorable C. LeRoy Hansen, United States District Judge for the District of New Mexico, sitting by designation
This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of the court's General Order filed November 29, 1993. 151 F.R.D. 470
