No. 18-11596 We have reviewed the record, the parties’ briefs, and the record excerpts for this appeal, and we have considered the November 14, 2018 Memorandum Opinion and Order of the district court which sets out in detail the relevant facts and history of this almost decade-old litigation. As a result of our review, we are satisfied that the district court ruled correctly in determining that Ross take nothing against the City of Dallas and that this case be dismissed with prejudice. For essentially the reasons thus set forth by the district court, its Judgment of even date with its opinion is AFFIRMED.
