ON DENIAL OF APPELLANT’S PETITION FOR REHEARING
BISTLINE, Justice,
dissenting.
Appellant’s petition for rehearing has brought to our attention the failure of the Court to respond to the request for attorney’s fees. That inadvertence should be corrected.
A majority of the Court has voted against an award of attorney’s fees to the appellant on an appeal wherein he was clearly the prevailing party. It seems to me that such fees are mandated under 42 U.S.C. § 1988 and both federal and state cases which have applied the provisions of that section.
HUNTLEY, J., concurs.
