JONES v. U.S. DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMIN.

Civ. A. No. 3:91-0520.

867 F.Supp. 626 (1993)

Willie L. JONES, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION et al., Defendants.

United States District Court, M.D. Tennessee, Nashville Division.

October 14, 1993.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

E.E. (Bo) Edwards, III, Edwards & Simmons, Nashville, TN, for plaintiff.

Michael L. Roden, Office of the U.S. Atty., Nashville, TN, for defendants.

MEMORANDUM

WISEMAN, District Judge.

This case is now before the court on plaintiff's application for attorneys' fees. Because Mr. Jones is a prevailing party on a claim substantially related to his civil rights claims, and because the DEA collaborated with police officers who were acting under the color of state law when Mr. Jones' civil rights were violated, the court concludes that an award of fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988 is in order.
