   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-3647
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Attorney's Fees. In this action in which plaintiffs sued to 
   enjoin Missouri's Health Insurance Marketplace Innovation Act of 2013, the 
   district court erred in denying plaintiffs' motion for attorney's fees 
   under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1988(b); while the preemption claim on which 
   plaintiffs prevailed is not fee-generating under the statute, this claim 
   related to a substantial First Amendment claim, which was covered, and the 
   the First Amendment and preemption claims arose from a common nucleus of 
   operative fact - Missouri's passage of the Act. See Rogers Group, Inc. v. 
   City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, 683 F.3d 903 (8th Cir. 2012).
