DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR PARTIAL RECONSIDERATION OF COURT'S
APRIL 12, 1995 ORDER DENYING QUALIFIED IMMUNITY ON
PLAINTIFFS' CLAIMS REGARDING REMOVAL OF FLAGS

Defendants, by and through the undersigned counsel, respectfully request the Court to reconsider the portion of its April 12, 1995 Order denying the qualified immunity to defendants O'Neill and Keness plaintiffs' claims regarding removal of two flags. See Complaint ¶¶ 10-18, and Order filed April 12, 1995 (R. 72), at p.2. Defendants so move on the grounds that careful review of the undisputed facts of record and the applicable law, it is clear that these defendants did not act in violation of any clearly established rights of plaintiffs in requiring them to remove the flags at issue, and are therefore entitled to qualified immunity.

In further support of their motion, defendants incorporate by reference their Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of Defendants' Motion for Reconsideration and in Support of

1

Defendants' Motion to Dismiss or for Summary Judgment.[1]

Respectfully Submitted,
