Priscilla Richman, Circuit Judge: *

We affirm the judgment of the district court for the following reasons: Case: 23-50037 Document: 70-1 Page: 2 Date Filed: 08/26/2025

No. 23-50037 1. There is no clearly established law indicating that Officers Ortiz and Martinez violated Wood’s constitutional rights.

2. The San Antonio Police Department’s policies are not facially unconstitutional.

3. Wood’s Monell 1 claims against the City of San Antonio for failure- to-train, failure-to-supervise, and failure-to-discipline fail because she does not demonstrate deliberate indifference.

AFFIRMED.
