that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

criminal proceedings against him.   See Allen v. McCurry, 449 U.S.

90, 103-05 (1980).   Accordingly, the district court’s dismissal

of all of Kirk’s § 1983 claims against the defendants is hereby

AFFIRMED.
