Strickland, 420 U.S. 308, 319-20, 95 S.Ct. 992, 999-1000, 43 L.Ed.2d 214 (1975) ## Opinion text RUSSELL, Circuit Judge, concurring and dissenting: As to Mrs. Gough, I concur in all of Judge Widener’s opinion except part VI thereof, and as to that part of his opinion I *875 agree with the principles stated therein, but on the facts of her case I would not require that reinstatement be offered Mrs. Gough because she did not ask for it after her baby was born. As to Mrs. Paxman, I think she suffered no constitutional wrong for the reasons stated by Judge Haynsworth in part IV of his opinion. Therefore, I think none of the various opinions filed has any application to her except part IV of Judge Haynsworth’s opinion as mentioned. --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/cases/8910767.
