Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appellants challenge the district court’s dismissal of their

civil-rights lawsuit.   They argue that the court erred in holding

that Officer Rick D. Walden was entitled to qualified immunity on

the claim that he violated Bill R. and Freda Lorece Smith’s

rights to substantive due process when he collided with their

     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

vehicle when responding to a call.    Because the protections of

the Due Process Clause are not triggered by conduct of the sort

alleged by Appellants, the district court did not err in holding

that Officer Walden was immune.     See County of Sacramento v.

Lewis, 

, 853 (1998); Brown v. Nationsbank Corp., 

, 591 (5th Cir. 1999), petition for cert. filed, 

(2000); Harris v. Victoria Indep. Sch. Dist., 

, 223 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 

(1999).

     Appellants also challenge the district court’s dismissal of

their claims against Sheriff Jimmy Adams and Wheeler County for

their failure to train Officer Walden or to have a policy

governing the use of high speeds.    Neither claim is viable in the

absence of any constitutional injury, however.     See City of Los

Angeles v. Heller, 

, 799 (1986); Angel v. City of

Fairfield, Tex., 

, 739 (5th Cir. 1986).

     AFFIRMED.
