BRANDON SCOTT LAVERGNE,

                                                 Plaintiff – Appellant
v.

BROOK MEGAN BROUSSARD,

                                                 Defendant – Appellee

                  Appeals from the United States District Court
                      for the Western District of Louisiana
                                No. 6:13-cv-2124

Before KING, DAVIS, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The district court correctly held that it lacked diversity jurisdiction over
Plaintiff-Appellant Brandon Scott Lavergne’s suit pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 1332. Even if the district court had possessed jurisdiction, Lavergne’s claims
would have failed under Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994). The district
court’s dismissal of Lavergne’s suit is AFFIRMED.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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