CITY OF ARLINGTON,

                                                   Defendant - Appellant

                       Appeal from the United States District Court
                            for the Northern District of Texas
                                 USDC No. 3:05-CV-2343

Before REAVLEY, WIENER,* and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:**
        This appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
        Because there is a fact dispute about negligence or intent, if any, to be
proven, there is no collateral order that warrants interlocutory jurisdiction. See
Cantu v. Rocha, 77 F.3d 795 (5th Cir. 1996). Furthermore, the fingerprint cards
are tangible property, leaving no legal issue presented in view of the order
appealed, where the court denied judgment because there is a fact issue whether

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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

negligent use of the fingerprint card caused Rhodes's injury. See Kinney v.
Weaver, 367 F.3d 337, 348 (5th Cir. 2004).
      APPEAL DISMISSED.
