                          and No:  08-1139
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Gruender, Circuit Judge, and
   Rosenbaum, District Judge]
Civil case - Civil Rights. Applying Tinker, the district court did not err in finding that defendant School District violated plaintiffs' First Amendment rights when it disciplined them for wearing black arm bands to protest the school's dress code; district court did not err in holding that nominal damages must be awarded when the jury finds a violation of plaintiffs' constitutional rights, and it did not abuse its discretion in amending the judgment to reflect a nominal damage award as a matter of law; district court did not err in permanently enjoining defendants from disciplining any student who wears a band substantially like the ones plaintiffs wore around their wrists; award of attorneys' fees affirmed.
