Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (97-CV-1327)(97-CV-296)

October 25, 1999 Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:*

Plaintiffs Michael Irvin and Erik Williams sued the above-

named defendants, in related actions, for alleged civil rights

violations under

42 U.S.C. § 1983

and based on state law claims

arising from a criminal investigation, and related activities,

prompted by a woman’s false claim that the plaintiffs had sexually

assaulted her. The district court consolidated the actions and

granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing all

federal claims with prejudice and declining to exercise

jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims, dismissing them

without prejudice. Having carefully reviewed the record and

studied the briefs submitted by counsel, we find no reversible

error and AFFIRM for essentially the reasons set forth by the

district court in its order dated March 5, 1999.

AFFIRMED.

* 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 R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
