of excessive force, also in violation of the Fourth Amendment based primarily

                                 No. 18-10444
High School on charges of bringing a hoax bomb to school. In disposing of this
case on a motion to dismiss based on qualified immunity, the district court
wrote an exceptionally thorough opinion, consisting of some fifty-nine pages,
covering every detail of the facts and law implicated in this case.        After
reviewing the briefs, pertinent portions of the record, and applicable law, we
can find no error in the district court’s grant of qualified immunity dismissing
the complaint against the appellees.       Consequently, the judgment of the
district court is AFFIRMED. See 5TH CIR. R. 47.6.
