Civil Rights Action by Day Laborers

In La Asociacion de Trabajadores de Lake Forest v. Lake Forest, No. 08-56564, an action alleging that the City of Lake Forest police ran all the day laborers looking for work off the public sidewalks, the court affirmed in part the dismissal of the action and the denial of attorney’s fees to a settling plaintiff where one plaintiff failed to assert any factual allegations in its complaint that it was forced to divert resources to help another association because of the defendants’ actions.  However, the court reversed in part where the settling plaintiff had achieved “prevailing party” status.
