1Opinion of the Court
JERRY E. SMITH, Circuit Judge.
Landry Rountree appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C § 1983 and related state-law claims against the City of Beaumont and Beaumont Police Sergeant Troy Dyson. We affirm the judgment of dismissal.
*683 I.
Rountree owns a towing business and, for thirty years, participated in Beaumont's non-consent tow rotation. For an accident that disables a car, the responding police officer calls a company on the rotation list to clear the wreck. While Rountree was on the list, non-consent tows for the Beaumont Police Department made up roughly two-thirds of his annual income.
