Mitchell v. City of Gulfport

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:*

The district court did not abuse its discretion in considering the transcript of the criminal proceeding, which transcript bears sufficient indicia of reliability. In light of that transcript, the district court determined that there are genuine issues of disputed material fact. Accordingly, we have no jurisdiction to review the claim of excessive force. Johnson v. Jones, 515 U.S. 304, 317, 115 S.Ct. 2151, 132 L.Ed.2d 238 (1995).

The appeal is DISMISSED for want of jurisdiction. Appellants’ motion to supplement the record is GRANTED. We express no opinion on the merits of any claim.

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
