          On Appeal from the United States District Court
      for the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division
                       Docket No. 3:05-CV-545

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

           The court has heard oral argument and reviewed the briefs

and pertinent portions of the record.       As the district court found,

the appellants failed to establish that a § 1983 cause of action

exists in the Fifth Circuit on the state-created-danger theory

under these facts.     See Saenz v. Heldenfels Bros., Inc., 183 F.3d

     *
            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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
389 (5th Cir. 1999).   Accordingly, there can be no municipal

liability.

AFFIRMED.
