Before GARWOOD, HIGGINBOTHAM, and

SMITH, Circuit Judges.

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 (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determined that this opinion should not be published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.
