PER CURIAM:

      Neal Patrick Robey appeals a district court order denying

his   motion     for   summary    judgment      on    the   basis   of     qualified

immunity,    arguing    that     even   under    the    version     of    the   facts

assumed     by   the    district    court,      the     law   was    not     clearly

established at the time of the acts underlying this suit that

Robey’s use of lethal force was unconstitutional.                        Because the

district court considered only whether a factual dispute made

summary judgment inappropriate, there is no legal issue that

would support appellate jurisdiction.                  See Iko v. Shreve, 535

F.3d 225, 237 (4th Cir. 2008).               We therefore dismiss Robey’s

appeal.

                                                                           DISMISSED

                                        3
