State of Texas and Texas Department of Human Resources v. United States of America and U.S. Department of Agriculture

993 F.2d 51, 1993 U.S. App. LEXIS 13802, 1993 WL 177534

Opinion

ON REMAND FROM THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT

Before JONES, Circuit Judge and PARKER * , District Judge: **

PER CURIAM:

The Supreme Court reversed this court’s holding that under the Debt Collection Act of 1982, the State of Texas and its Department of Human Services were not liable to the United States for prejudgment interest on mail issuance losses for which the Texas Food Stamp program must reimburse the federal government. United States v. Texas, - U.S. -, 113 S.Ct. 1631, 123 L.Ed.2d 245 (1993). The district court’s judgment awarding such interest was vindicated. There is no need to revisit this appeal insofar as we previously affirmed the remainder of the district court’s decision. We now also AFFIRM its award of prejudgment interest.

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
