Walter Allen ROTHGERY, Plaintiff-Appellant,

No. 06-50267.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
August 1, 2008.
William Gerow Christian (argued), Graves, Dougherty, Hearon & Moody, Andrea M. Marsh, Harry Williams, IV, Texas Fair Defense Project, Austin, TX, for Rothgery.
Charles Straith Frigerio (argued), Hector X. Saenz, Law Offices of Charles S. Frigerio, San Antonio, TX, for Gillespie Cty., TX.

Before KING, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
The Supreme Court vacated this court's judgment in this case and remanded the case to us for further proceedings consistent with its opinion. See Rothgery v. Gillespie County, ___ U.S. ___, 128 S.Ct. 2578, 171 L.Ed.2d 366 (2008), rev'g 491 F.3d 293 (5th Cir.2007). The Court decided what it termed a "threshold issue" in the case, holding that "a criminal defendant's initial appearance before a judicial officer, where he learns the charge against him and his liberty is subject to restriction, marks the start of adversary judicial proceedings that trigger attachment of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel." Id. at ___, 128 S.Ct. at 2592. The Court did not decide whether Rothgery's Sixth Amendment right had been violated or, if so, whether Rothgery suffered cognizable harm. Proceeding from a different and incorrect premise on the threshold issue (as did this court), the district court had granted summary judgment in favor of Gillespie County. Under the circumstances, we think it advisable to vacate the district court's judgment and to remand for further proceedings that, from the beginning, are consistent with the Court's opinion.
VACATED and REMANDED. Costs shall be borne by Gillespie County.
