IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 00-31219 ALVIN MATTHEWS; CAROLYN MATTHEWS, Plaintiffs-Appellants, versus TRACY GANDY, individually & in his official capacity as a law enforcement officer of the city of New Iberia; JOHN MEDLIN, individually & in his official capacity as a law enforcement officer of the city of New Iberia; STEVE DAVIS, individually & in his official capacity as Chief of Police of the City of New Iberia; CITY OF NEW IBERIA, Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana (99-CV-1348) July 12, 2001 Before HIGGINBOTHAM and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges, and LITTLE*, District Judge. PER CURIAM:** * District Judge of the Western District of Louisiana, sitting by designation. ** Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4. We are not persuaded that there was a genuine issue of fact regarding the officers’ pursuit of an individual to the home of the plaintiffs. That the identity of the person fleeing the police is disputed is not material to the issue of the officers’ qualified immunity from money damages. AFFIRMED. 2
