Description
In an earlier appeal in this case, this court affirmed a judgment dismissing a civil rights action brought by plaintiffs Glass against defendant police officers. Glass v. Pfeffer, 657 F.2d 252 (10th Cir. 1981) (Glass I). Before that appeal was taken, the district court ordered plaintiffs and the law firm (Fred W. Phelps-Chartered) of their counsel, Fred W. Phelps, Jr., to pay $1400 in attorney's fees which one defendant, Dean Forster, incurred after his deposition was taken by plaintiffs. The district court ruled that Forster's deposition clearly demonstrated that he was not present at the time of the mistaken arrest that formed the basis of plaintiffs' complaint. The court found no excuse for plaintiffs' failure voluntarily to dismiss Forster from the action after taking that deposition.
