Description

James Wilson was arrested and detained by the El Reno, Oklahoma, police department for distributing anonymous campaign literature in violation of a state statute. While the matter was still under investigation and before formal charges had been filed, Wilson brought this suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1982). Wilson asserted that the statute infringed his First Amendment rights and sought declaratory and injunctive relief, naming as defendants in their official capacities the District Attorney for the district in which the arrest took place and the Oklahoma Attorney General.*fn1 The district court granted Wilson's motion for summary judgment, ruling that the challenged statute was facially overbroad. The court also awarded Wilson attorney's fees under 42 U.S.C. § 1988 (1982) and directed that half of the total award be assessed against each defendant.
