June 16, 1997
Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
As an initial matter, this court must address the basis of
its jurisdiction over this appeal. Cantu v. Rocha,
77 F.3d 795,
802 (5th Cir. 1996). With respect to the portion of the appeal
challenging the denial of summary judgment based on McAFee and
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.

Keel’s qualified and official immunity, the order is immediately
appealable as based on an issue of law despite the district
court’s determination that disputes of fact remain.
Id. at 804;
Behrens v. Pelletier,
116 S. Ct. 834, 840 (1996); Johnson v.
Jones,
115 S. Ct. 2151, 2159 (1996).
The district court did not err by denying summary judgment
on the issues of qualified immunity. Viewing the evidence in the
light most favorable to Conner, there is a genuine issue of
material fact whether McAfee and Keel’s conduct was objectively
reasonable or in good faith. See Nerren v. Livingston Police
Dept.,
86 F.3d 469, 472-74(5th Cir. 1996); Baker v. Putnal,
75
F.3d 190, 199 (5th Cir. 1996); City of Lancaster v. Chambers, 883
S.W.2d, 650, 656 (Tex. 1994).
APPEAL DISMISSED IN PART, AFFIRMED IN PART.
