No. 17-40387

Decided: September 13, 2018

Before JOLLY, ELROD, and WILLETT, Circuit Judges.

Erick Lawson, Pro Se Shanna Elizabeth Molinare, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General, Law Enforcement Defense Division, Austin, TX, for Amicus Curiae State of Texas

Since the district court has granted Lawson’s motion for reconsideration, which it construed as a motion to alter or amend a judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e), the appeal is moot. Thus, we REMAND the case in full for further proceedings.
