Dobbs v. Valdez

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit May 1, 2009

Dobbs v. Valdez, 324 F. App'x 395 (5th Cir. 2009)

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

We agree with the district court that even if Dobbs’ extended detention by county and city officials amounted to a constitutional violation, no summary judgment evidence established any official policy or custom by the city or sheriff sanctioning such violations.

We therefore affirm the judgment of the district court for this reason and the additional reasons advanced by the district court in its careful Memorandum Opinion and Order of July 3, 2008.

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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
