Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Georgia
________________________
(April 18, 2019)
Before WILLIAM PRYOR, MARTIN, and NEWSOM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Case: 18-13337 Date Filed: 04/18/2019 Page: 2 of 2
The parents of Nicholas Dyksma brought this action of behalf of themselves
and Nicholas’s estate against Harris County sheriff’s deputy, Tommy Pierson,
asserting violations of both federal law under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and Georgia state
law. Pierson appeals the district court’s order issued July 16, 2018 denying in part
his motion for summary judgment.
After careful review, we AFFIRM the district court’s denial of Pierson’s
motion for summary judgment. For the reasons stated in the district court’s
opinion, we agree that Pierson is not entitled to qualified or official immunity.
