Description
WELLFORD, Senior Circuit Judge. This controversy has been before us on a prior occasion, reported at 874 F.2d 359 (1989) ("Chonich I"). We held, on appeal by defendant Wayne County Community College (Wayne), that damages awarded to plaintiffs totalling $875,000 in this civil rights action were speculative and excessive, and remanded for a new trial on the issue of damages with respect to plaintiffs Chonich and Pascaretti. We also remanded the case to the district court with reset to Wayne "for further consideration as to whether a new trial on . . . liability issues is required because of the absence of Monell*fn1 instructions" which are sometimes necessary under § 1983 and Michigan Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act claims. Id. at 367. Additionally, we reversed the district court's dismissal of the plaintiffs' libel/defamation claim against Wayne and the dismissal of defendant Ford on the libel claim based on her assertion of privilege.
