No. 87-6724.

Before WALLACE, FARRIS and WIGGINS, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM
The issue before us is whether the district court erred in its award of $5,000.00 attorney's fees to a prevailing civil rights plaintiff pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988 when a claim is made for fees of $45,000.00.
The district judge did not, in his order, set a lodestar figure, see Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 433-34 (1982), nor identify the amount of reduction pursuant to an analysis of factors identified in Kerr v. Screen Actors Guild, Inc., 526 F.2d 67, 69-70 (9th Cir. 1975), cert. denied, 425 U.S. 951 (1976). We are, therefore, unable to review the order.
We vacate and remand for the district court to issue a new order. We express no view as to whether the fee set by the district court was inadequate.
VACATED AND REMANDED.
