Description
In the words of the district court judge, "This case has a long and tortured history." At root, it was once a suit based on federal and state laws guaranteeing various rights to fair housing. At this point, however, all that is before us is the district courts order requiring the plaintiff, her individual lawyer, and the law firm that represented her to pay the defendants attorneys fees and costs. We conclude that the district court acted lawfully and within its discretion when it entered this order against the plaintiff herself, Toni K. Claiborne, and against the plaintiffs lawyer, Elaine P. Boyd, but that the court should not have taken this action directly against the law firm of Lee, Cossell, Kuehn & Love, L.L.P. (formerly Lee, Burns, Cossell & Kuehn, L.L.P.). We therefore affirm in part and reverse in part.
