v.

MANIKA KEMP, Individually and in her official capacity,

                                                  Defendant-Appellant

                 Appeal from the United States District Court for
                      the Northern District of Mississippi
                             USDC No. 2:09-CV-156

Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The district court denied dismissal of Leroy Nesbit’s complaint of
discrimination, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981, in response to Manika Kemp’s
qualified immunity defense. Because the record shows material fact issues, this

testimony of the plaintiff. (Record pp. 331, 645). Dr. Kemp was the principal

        *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
