costs. In Connick v. Thompson,
131 S. Ct. 1350 (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,
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.
