Confederate Flag Case Set for Trial on
September 11, 2002

Black Mountain, NC - Timothy Castorina will finally get his day in Court.  US District Court Judge Joseph Hood set the Case for trial on September 11, 2002 in Lexington, Kentucky. The trial date was set at a pre-trial conference held yesterday before Judge Hood.

Castorina was suspended from Madison High School in Richmond Kentucky 5 years ago for wearing a Hank William, Jr. concert shirt bearing Confederate flags.

Castorina filed suit in Federal Court and the case was dismissed in 1999. An appeal to the 6th Circuit put the case back on the docket, followed by another Motion to Dismiss that was rejected.
