______________________________
ON REMAND FROM
THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Before Wiener, Graves, and Douglas, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam:
This case is before us on remand from the Supreme Court. The
Supreme Court reversed the judgment of this court and held that Heck v.
Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994), does not bar Olivier’s suit, which seeks
purely prospective relief, notwithstanding his prior conviction for violating
the challenged ordinance. Olivier v. City of Brandon, Miss., 607 U.S. ----, 146
No. 22-60566
S. Ct. 916, 926 (2026). Accordingly, we REMAND this case to the district
court for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court’s opinion.
