Activist Nate Livingston has been released from jail on an appeal bond.

        Mr. Livingston, 33, of Avondale was returned to jail last week to serve the remainder of a 60-day sentence after he lost a bid to have a disorderly conduct conviction overturned.

        Last month, the Ohio 1st District Court of Appeals upheld his conviction and 60-day jail sentence for disrupting a speech by Mayor Charlie Luken at the 2000 Oktoberfest opening ceremony.

        Mr. Livingston had served about 37 days before being released on an appeal bond.

        Hamilton County Municipal Judge Ralph Winkler set another appeal bond of $80,000 last week.

        Thursday, Mr. Livingston was released. On Friday, he was seen participating in a protest outside the Westin Hotel, where the AFL-CIO was holding a dinner.
