Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski, No. 18-12676 (11th Cir. 2021)
Annotate this Case
This panel originally held that binding circuit precedent required that it conclude that nominal damages claims alone could not save appellants' otherwise moot constitutional challenges. On March 8, 2021, the Supreme Court reversed the panel's opinion.
On remand from the Supreme Court, which held that an award of nominal damages by itself can redress a past injury, the panel reversed the district court's dismissal of appellants' First Amended Complaint and remanded for further proceedings.
This opinion or order relates to an opinion or order originally issued on July 1, 2019.
