Defendants - Appellees
-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. SA-98-CV-472-FB -------------------- December 1, 2000
Before KING, Chief Judge, and WIENER and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Michael Anthony Horne has appealed the district court’s
grant of summary judgment to the defendants in his
42 U.S.C. § 1983civil rights action. We AFFIRM. Horne argues that he
was arrested and detained in violation of his constitutional
rights due to the policies or customs of the defendants.
A
42 U.S.C. § 1983complaint against a municipality must
identify the policy, connect the policy to the municipality, and
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. No. 99-51068 -2-
show that the particular injury occurred because of the execution
of the policy. Bennett v. City of Slidell,
728 F.2d 762, 767(5th Cir. 1984)(en banc). Our de novo review of the record
reveals that Horne has failed to meet his burden under Bennett.
Accordingly, the summary judgment on the merits of Horne’s claims
against the defendants is AFFIRMED.
