REEVES COUNTY, TEXAS,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court For the Western District of Texas (P-00-CV-19) September 23, 2002

* 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 R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. friend), and the surviving parent of Pablo Llamas-Espino (Llamas)
who was an inmate at the Reeves County Detention Center (RCDC)
between 1997 and 1999. Llamas died of a heart attack which he
sustained while incarcerated in his jail cell and the plaintiffs
brought suit against Reeves County, Texas, asserting that medical
personnel on duty at the jail facility were deliberately
indifferent to his medical needs. Reeves County moved for a
summary judgment and the district judge granted the motion and
entered a final judgment that plaintiffs take nothing. Plaintiffs
timely appeal to this Court.
We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the record excerpts,
and relevant portions of the record itself. For the reasons stated
by the district judge in his order granting defendant’s motion for
summary judgment filed November 1, 2001, we affirm the final
judgment that the plaintiffs’ claims against the defendant are
dismissed with prejudice.
AFFIRMED.
