ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
When this case came to us initially, binding circuit precedent required that we conclude that Appellants’ nominal damages claims alone could not save their otherwise moot constitutional challenges. Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski, 781 F. Appx 824, 830-32 (11th Cir. 2019) (citing Flanigans Enters., Inc. of Ga. v. City of Sandy Springs, 868 F.3d 1248, 1263-71 (11th Cir. 2017) (en banc)). On March 8, 2021, the United States Supreme Court reversed this panels opinion, holding that “an award of nominal damages by itself can redress a past injury.” Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski, ––– U.S. ––––, 141 S. Ct. 792, 796, ––– L.Ed.2d –––– (2021). For the reasons stated in the Supreme Courts decision, we reverse the district courts dismissal of Appellants’ First Amended Complaint and remand for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Courts decision. 1
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
