1Opinion of the Court
POLITZ, Circuit Judge:
The district court’s finding after remand, Heath v. Brown, 807 F.2d 1229 (5th Cir.1987), that the filing of plaintiffs’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit was a substantial factor or significant catalyst in the abandonment of a policy which had been challenged as unconstitutional, 1 is now before us for review. Defendants-appellants contend that the trial court’s finding is clearly erroneous. After reviewing the record we conclude otherwise and affirm.
This case is before us for the third time. See Heath v. Brown, 807 F.2d 1229 (5th Cir.1987); and 688 F.2d 837 (5th Cir.1982)…
