163459P.pdf   11/17/2017  Michael Banks  v.  Francis Slay
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-3459
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Loken and Arnold, Circuit Judges] Civil Case - civil rights. Default judgment entered against police officer in his official capacity is a judgment against the government entity in all respects other than name. Notice, served in accordance with state law, was proper. Mandamus was properly issued by the district court and was the correct procedure to enforce a judgment against a public entity. As to the cross-appeals the district court properly denied post-judgment interest, as the judgment did not include references to post-judgment interest and the complaint did not request it. The district court did not abuse its discretion in reducing the award of attorneys fees based on the type of work at issue.
