On consideration of the City of Chicago's "Motion to Dismiss Appeal" filed on October 19, 1993 and the Retired Chicago Police Association's ("RCPA's") "Opposition to City's Motion to Dismiss Appeal" filed on October 28, 1993, the Court grants the motion to dismiss.  RCPA is not a prevailing party within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1988 and therefore is not entitled to an award of fees.   Hanrahan v. Hampton, 446 U.S. 754, 757-58 (1980);   Palmer v. City of Chicago, 806 F.2d 1316, 1321-23 (7th Cir.1986).  With respect to the issues on which this court upheld the district court's summary judgment (denial of class certification, denial of leave to intervene, denial of motion for preliminary injunction) the court dismisses with prejudice.  On the issue of associational standing, this court dismisses without prejudice.
