   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  23-1042
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Wollman, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. Defendant's predecessor as President of the St. 
   Louis Board of Alderman blocked plaintiff on Twitter, and she sued him in 
   his official capacity for violating her First and Fourteenth Amendment 
   rights. The district court awarded plaintiff declaratory relief, nominal 
   damages, costs and attorney's fees; defendant, the new President, appeals. 
   Held: the former President's unblocking plaintiff after she filed this 
   complaint did not moot the matter; the district court did not err in 
   finding the former President's decision to block plaintiff was a final 
   municipal policy decision in his area of the City's business, the office 
   of President of the Board of Aldermen; the former President administered 
   the account under color of law as an official governmental account; and 
   the former President violated plaintiff's First and Fourteenth Amendment 
   rights.
