Kansas abortion providers who won a federal injunction to keep temporary clinic regulations from taking effect are asking a judge to award them attorneys’ fees and costs.

Monday’s motion by the Kansas City-area physicians seeks nearly $170,000 in attorneys’ fees, and nearly $4,000 for expenses and costs.

The federal lawsuit named the state’s health secretary as a defendant. The parties have jointly moved to dismiss that lawsuit once the court decides on the attorneys’ fees and other costs.

Abortion providers have filed a separate lawsuit in state court in Shawnee County challenging the final version of the health and safety regulations for abortion clinics.
