John Thompson v. Harry Connick

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The defendants challenge an award of supplemental attorney’s fees and costs. In Connick v. Thompson, — U.S.-, 131 S.Ct. 1350, 179 L.Ed.2d 417 (2011), the Court reversed this court’s affirmance, see Thompson v. Connick, 578 F.3d 293 (5th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (per curiam) (affirming by equally divided court), of the district court’s award of damages and fees. The parties have submitted letter briefs, on request, and agree that the award of supplemental fees should be reversed. This court has now remanded the underlying action for entry of judgment. See Thompson v. Connick, — F.3d -, 2011 U.S.App. LEXIS 9758 (5th Cir. May 13, 2011) (en banc) (per curiam).

The award of supplemental fees and costs is therefore REVERSED, and this matter is REMANDED for further proceedings, if any, that may be required.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
