Summary Calendar
BILLY S. STRONG, Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS; JOHN BRIMMER; GARY GWYN; HARRY CRUMB; OLEN MANNING, Defendants-Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court For the Northern District of Texas (3:95-CV-2605-T)
October 10, 1997
Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Billy Strong appeals the district court’s grant of summary
judgment in favor of Officers John Brimmer and Olen Manning of the
Grand Prairie Police Department. Strong alleges that Brimmer and
Manning falsely arrested him and maliciously prosecuted him in
connection with two separate arrest warrants. Strong argues on
appeal that Brimmer and Manning are not entitled to qualified
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. immunity on his federal law claims and official immunity on his
state law claims.
After reviewing the record, we conclude that Brimmer and
Manning acted in an objectively reasonable manner and in good
faith. In this regard, we agree with the reasoning of the district
court. See Strong v. City of Grand Prairie, No. 3:95-CV-2605-T
(N.D. Tex. Dec. 6, 1996); Strong v. City of Grand Prairie, No.
3:95-CV-2605-T (N.D. Tex. Jan. 8, 1997). Accordingly, Brimmer and
Manning are entitled to summary judgment based upon qualified
immunity and Texas’s law of official immunity.
AFFIRMED.
