1Opinion of the Court
BEAM, Circuit Judge.
After the shooting death of Walter Louis Franklin, II, at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, Franklin’s estate (“the estate”) brought this action against two officers, the City of Minneapolis and the Chief of Police claiming excessive force, wrongful death, and negligence. The defendants moved for summary judgment, which the district court1 denied on all but the negligence claim. The officers appeal the denial of summary judgment based on qualified immunity.2 We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
