Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Texas

USDC No. 9:15-CV-14

Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Florida Harris and others pursue this action against several law 

enforcement officers. Anthony Lowrie, a Polk County Deputy Sheriff is one of 

these. The district court has denied summary judgment for him and Lowrie 

brings this interlocutory appeal. This is the only subject of the present appeal.

 

* 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.

No. 15-40455

2

The district court denied summary judgment for Lowrie because of a 

material fact dispute. Lowrie obtained a search warrant that played a part in 

the tort suit, and plaintiffs say that the warrant was invalid because Lowrie 

omitted material facts about credibility of the informant, recklessly 

disregarding the truth and misleading the issuing magistrate. 

It is beyond this court’s jurisdiction to evaluate the decision of the district 

court to hold this to be a genuine fact issue.

Appeal DISMISSED.
