ACLU Not Entitled to Attorney Fees in Kim Davis Case

Nov 4, 2016

Liberty Counsel filed an opposition response to the plaintiffs’ motion request for attorney’s fees in the case of Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who won her fight for religious freedom after a federal judge issued an order dismissing all three 2015 marriage license lawsuits against her.

The plaintiffs in Miller v. Davis fall far short of satisfying the applicable prevailing party standard in the Sixth Circuit and thus are not entitled to an award of attorney’s fees. Despite the ACLU’s attempt to continue the case against Kim Davis and assess damages against her, the federal district court dismissed the case, closed the files and ordered all the pending cases to be removed from the docket.
