Jones v. City of Lubbock
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Jones v. City of Lubbock, 682 F.2d 504 (5th Cir. 1982)
Jones v. City of Lubbock
Opinion of the Court
On appeal, 640 F.2d 777 (5th Cir. 1981), we reversed and remanded for reconsideration in light of the Supreme Court’s intervening decision in City of Mobile v. Bolden, 446 U.S. 55, 100 S.Ct. 1490, 64 L.Ed.2d 47 (1980). Shortly thereafter the Supreme Court granted certiorari in Rogers v. Lodge and we recalled and have withheld our mandate. That case has now been decided, - U.S. -, 102 S.Ct. 3272, 72 L.Ed.2d 1012 (1982). Consistent therewith, sua sponte, we grant rehearing and supplement our opinion to instruct the district court, in its re-examination, to give appropriate consideration to the teachings contained in Rogers v. Lodge.
REVERSED and REMANDED.
