Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
No. 4:06-CV-2843
Before JONES, Chief Judge, and HIGGINBOTHAM and SMITH, Circuit
Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The court has carefully reviewed this ยง 1983 appeal in
light of the briefs and pertinent parts of the record. Having done
so, we find no reversible error of law or fact. The district court
correctly concluded that the plaintiff failed to allege the
existence of an official policy or custom attributable to Harris
County. See Cox v. City of Dallas,
430 F.3d 734, 748-49 (5th Cir.

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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
to amend the complaint. See Goldstein v. MCI WorldCom,
340 F.3d
238, 254-55 (5th Cir. 2003). We therefore AFFIRM for essentially
the reasons stated by the trial court.
AFFIRMED.
