Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky at Covington

SUTTON, Chief Judge. In 2020, three individuals opposed the Kentucky Governor’s COVID-19 restrictions on religious gatherings. They received preliminary injunctions against the orders, and the district court awarded them attorney’s fees as prevailing parties. See 42 U.S.C. § 1988(b). We affirm the fees award.
