                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Southern District of Florida
                        _________________________

                                 (May 2, 2005)

Before BLACK, MARCUS and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Appellant Robert Sierra, an employee of the Broward County Sheriff’s

Office, conducted a warrantless search on the commercial premises of Appellee

Tropical Aviation Ground Services, Inc. (Tropical Aviation). Pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983, Tropical Aviation brought suit against Sierra, alleging a violation

of the Fourth Amendment. Sierra filed a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss the

complaint based on qualified immunity. The district court denied Sierra’s motion,

and this appeal followed. The district court did not err in denying Sierra’s motion

to dismiss.

      AFFIRMED.
