 Webb v. Ada County

Ada County maintains that Webb is not entitled to attorney' s fees incurred in monitoring and enforcing the judgment and consent decree pursuant to the PLRA because Webb failed to demonstrate that the postjudgment fees were incurred in proving an actual violation of the Constitution.
