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.
