Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:
This is an appeal from a denial of summary judgment to supervisory law enforcement officials in a suit brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The district court denied the request for summary judgment premised on qualified immunity, finding genuine issues of material fact regarding supervisory liability and the objective reasonableness of the supervisors’ actions. Persuaded that the record cannot support a conclusion that supervisory liability would attach, we reverse.
