Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi USDC No. 3:21-CV-636 ______________________________

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.
