Romero, acting on behalf of both the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., and the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., motion for summary judgment.\nClaimant\u2019s claim is founded upon an order of a three-judge district court in the northern district of Illinois in the consolidated cases of Rybicki v. State Board of Elections, No. 81 C 6030; Crosby v. State Board of Elections, No. 81 C 6093; and DelValle v. State Board of Elections, No. 81 C 6052. On April 27,1984, the three-judge court ordered that Respondent pay Claimant the amount of $81,180.00 as and for attorney fees as a prevailing party.\nClaimant\u2019s motion for summary judgment seeks an award in the amount of $81,180.00 plus 9% interest per annum pursuant to statute as attorney fees.\nThe affidavit of Claimant\u2019s counsel represents that Respondent does not oppose the entry of an order in accordance with the relief sought, and Respondent in fact has not objected to the motion.\nIt is therefore ordered, that Claimant, Raymond G. Romero, acting on behalf of both the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., and the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., is awarded $81,180.00 plus interest at the rate of 9% per annum from April 27, 1984, in full and complete satisfaction of his claim.",
