KORNMANN, District Judge,
concurring.
I concur. Most respectfully, I write separately only to express my opinion that plaintiffs elected a remedy. They sought and received an injunction and the fruits of it, the boat dock permit. It would be unjust for plaintiffs to receive the dock permit, as they already have, keep it, and also recover damages for the claimed loss of the dock permit. My concern is that if plaintiffs are simply allowed to “give up” the injunction, our decision may have little practical benefit for defendants who will already have lost the permit and will still owe the monetary damages. It may be that the dock permit cannot be retrieved by defendants, despite the lifting of the injunction. In the alternative, I would have the District Court determine if plaintiffs have made the election, the mandate being that plaintiffs are not to be allowed to receive and retain the dock permit as well as the $12,250.
