MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Au Hoon v. City and County of Honolulu, 922 F.2d 844 (9th Cir. 1991):
Since the case has not been decided on the merits at this point, it would be premature to award attorneys' fees and costs. See Hewitt v. Helms, 482 U.S. 755, 759-60, 107 S.Ct. 2672, 2675, 96 L.Ed.2d 654 (1987).
