Appeals from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana
November 18, 2002
ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
Before REAVLEY, BARKSDALE, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Because the underlying opinion, Zaffuto v. City of Hammond,
308 F.3d 485(5th Cir. 2002), reverses in part and remands for a new
trial, the district court’s award of attorney’s fees to plaintiffs
is VACATED. On remand, the district court shall, at the appropriate
time, re-determine whether and to what extent the plaintiffs are
entitled to attorney’s fees. In all other respects, the petition for rehearing is DENIED.
