“Section 1983 action against the plaintiffs and their attorneys in the Morgan County case. Winslow accused the defendants of violating § 1983 by the improper institution of garnishment proceedings, conspiracy to deprive him of his constitutional rights under § 1985 and for violating 15 U.S.C. § 1671 . The court dismissed the action for failure to state a claim under these theories, characterizing it as a “blatant attempt at preventing the collection of a valid judgment,” and awarded the defendants attorney fees. Id. at 1054 . The dismissal was affirmed on appeal to the Tenth Circuit, and the defendants were awarded additional fees (Appeal No. 84-1746).”
