IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI 

WESTERN DIVISION 

DELORES NORWOOD, ET AL, Plaintiffs 

Vv. NO. WC 70-53-K 

D. L. HARRISON, ET AL, Defendants 

ORDER 

The court has before it defendants' motion to vacate 

judgment entered on January 3, 1978, awarding attorney fees 

against the Mississippi Stalé Tewthook Purchasing Board, an 

agency of the State, pending decision of the United States 

Supreme Court in Hutto v. Finney, No. 76-1660, cert. granted 

October 17, 1977, which concerns, inter alia, the permissibility 

of awarding attorney fees pursuant to 42 USC § 1988 against 

states and subdivisions thereof in light of the Eleventh Amend- 

ment. Since § 1988 is only an alternative reason for the fee 

award herein made, and the first ground therefor is 20 USC § 1617, 

in which Congress provided specifically for attorney fee awards 
  

against states and subdivisions thereof in litigation such as 

that sub judice, it is 

ORDERED 

That defendants' motion to vacate judgment is hereby 

denied. 

THIS, 19th day of January, 1978.
