614 F.2d 54 (1980)

Albert T. EHLERS, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. CITY OF DECATUR, GEORGIA, Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

March 19, 1980.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Albert T. Ehlers, pro se.

Thomas O. Davis, Decatur, Ga., H. A. Stephens, Jr., Atlanta, Ga., for defendant-appellee.

Before GODBOLD, GARZA and RANDALL, Circuit Judges.

GODBOLD, Circuit Judge:

In 1975 appellant Ehlers placed a "For Rent" sign on his property in Decatur, Georgia, in violation of a city ordinance that prohibited such signs. Decatur police removed the sign, and in 1977 Ehlers brought this suit for damages under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He alleged that the ordinance deprived him of various constitutional rights and that he had been unable to rent his property as a result of the city's action.1
