OPINION OF THE COURT

Syeta Brewington obtained a Protection from Abuse (PFA) order against her boyfriend, Ramon Mills. In the affidavit in *142 support of the PFA, Syeta alleged that Mills had threatened to kill her and that he possessed a gun. For that reason, the Court of Common Pleas PFA order stated that the “Defendant shall immediately relinquish the following weapons to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County: GUN.” Nevertheless, the two police officers who served the PFA order on Mills failed to seize his gun. Shortly after being served with the PFA, Mills shot and killed Syeta’s brother, Perry Brewington.

The Estate of Perry Brewington filed suit against the two police officers, Joseph Lombardo and Richard Horner, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that they violated Brewington’s Fourteenth Amendment due process rights when they failed to seize Mills’ weapon. 1 The Estate claimed that the Officers were responsible for Brewington’s death under the state-created danger theory of liability. The Officers filed a motion for summary judgment. Judge Ludwig denied this motion with respect to the Estate’s due process claim against the Officers.

The case went to trial before Chief Magistrate Judge Thomas J. Rueter from August 11, 2010 to August 13, 2010, and the jury found in the Officers’ favor. The Estate filed a Motion for a New Trial pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(a) and 60(b), but Judge Rueter denied this motion on September 29, 2010. The Estate then filed a Motion for Reconsideration, which Judge Rueter denied on November 3, 2010.

The issue now on appeal is the same issue presented to the Distinct Court in the Motion for Reconsideration. The Estate argues that a new trial should have been granted because the testimony the Officers gave at trial contradicted their deposition testimony and was therefore “contrary to the law of the case.” The Estate contends that, in his ruling on the Officers’ summary judgment motion, Judge Ludwig determined “as a matter of law” that the PFA order required the Officers to seize Mills’ gun. 2 Thus, the Estate believes that the Officers should not have been permitted to testify otherwise at trial.

After carefully reviewing the record and the submissions of the parties, we find no basis for disturbing the District Court’s thorough and thoughtful opinion and judgment. 3 Despite the horrendous facts of this case and the shortcomings of the Officers’ efforts to enforce the PFA, the Estate’s arguments are not persuasive. The Estate had a full and fair opportunity to impeach the Officers regarding inconsistencies between their deposition testimony and their trial testimony. Moreover, it seems inappropriate to view Judge Lud *143 wig’s denial of summary judgment as creating “law of the case.” As the Ninth Circuit has stated, “[s]uch a denial merely postpones decision of any question; it decides none. To give it any other effect would be entirely contrary to the purpose of the summary judgment procedure.” Dessar v. Bank of Am. Nat’l Trust & Sav. Ass’n, 353 F.2d 468, 470 (9th Cir. 1965). Therefore, we will affirm the judgment for substantially the reasons set forth in the District Court’s opinion.
