U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, 2014

Brandon Lavergne v. Brook Broussard

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided June 13, 2014 · King, Davis, Elrod

572 F. App'x 262

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The district court correctly held that it lacked diversity jurisdiction over Plaintiff-Appellant Brandon Scott Lavergne’s suit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Even if the district court had possessed jurisdiction, Lavergne’s claims would have failed under Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994). The district court’s dismissal of Lavergne’s suit is 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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
