`
`ORDER
`
`On December 10, 2010, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion that dismissed
`
`and remanded this case. More specifically, the Fourth Circuit stated that “[a]lthough the district
`
`court granted summary judgment on C.H.’s confederate flag clothing claims, it has not yet ruled (or
`
`been asked to rule) on her protest clothing First Amendment damages claim.” C.H ex rel. Hardwick
`
`v. Heyward, No. 09-2390, 2010 WL 5066024 (4th Cir. Dec. 10, 2010) (Doc. # 160). Thus, the
`
`Fourth Circuit characterized this Court’s summary judgment order (Doc. # 150) as a partial grant of
`
`summary judgment that is interlocutory in nature rather than a final judgment.
