May 16, 1996
Before GARWOOD, WIENER and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appellants appeal from the district court's order dismissing
their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action for lack of standing.
They argue that the district court's decision is contrary to the
Supreme Court's decision in County of Riverside v. McLaughlin, 500
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
U.S. 44, 51-52 (1991). Ramirez and Vargas also argue that although
their claims may be moot, they are capable of repetition yet evade
review. We have reviewed the record and the district court's
opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the
dismissal of the claims of Ramirez and Vargas for essentially the
reasons given by the district court. Ramirez v. Harmon, No. 95-CV-
214 (W.D. La. March 2, 1995). We affirm the district court's
determination that Farmer and Wyly lack standing on the alternative
ground that they do not have a cause of action for an
unconstitutional detention without a prompt probable cause
determination. See Bickford v. International Speedway Corp.,
654
F.2d 1028, 1031 (5th Cir. 1981).2
AFFIRMED.
2
In their § 1983 complaint, Ramirez and Vargas included a
reservation of rights to assert claims for monetary damages, but
they have not pursued that issue here and we do not address it
here, whether as to standing or otherwise.
