On remand, how has the court dealt with the award of a grant of fees awarded to a defendant in a civil case?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Friend v. Kolodzieczak, 65 F.3d 1514 (9th Cir. 1995):

On remand, the district court reaffirmed its original grant of fees and also awarded fees and costs for the time expended in defending the award on appeal. Friend v. Kolodzieczak, No. CV-87-0161-MHP, 1993 WL 372252, (N.D.Cal. Sept. 14, 1993). The majority has upheld the award and I must again dissent based on the fact that the plaintiffs were not "prevailing parties." The defendants in this case settled neither in recognition of nor in response to the plaintiffs' rights, but rather, in furtherance of reasonable penological goals--peace and quiet among the inmate population.
