U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-1300
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case. In action alleging defendant violated Minn. Stat. Sec.
383B.751 and Section 1983 by terminating four securities guards, where
defendant chose to reinstate the guards with backpay, the district court
decision refusing to impose an attorneys' lien against the defendant was
an appealable collateral order; the district court erred when it denied
the attorneys' motions to establish an attorneys' lien against the
Commission as under Minnesota law the defendant was charged with notice of
the lien and the statutory requirements for the lien were met.
