Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
(99-CV-1348)
July 12, 2001
Before HIGGINBOTHAM and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges, and LITTLE*,
District Judge.
PER CURIAM:**

-- 1 of 2 --

2
We are not persuaded that there was a genuine issue of fact
regarding the officers’ pursuit of an individual to the home of the
plaintiffs. That the identity of the person fleeing the police is
disputed is not material to the issue of the officers’ qualified
immunity from money damages.
AFFIRMED.
