    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Western District of Texas
    USDC No. SA-02-CV-587
    _________________________________________________________________
    Before JOLLY, DAVIS, and JONES, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    The district court committed no reversible error in holding
    that       the   injury   was    neither    foreseeable    nor   caused    by   the
    defendants.        Furthermore, on the record before us, the defendants,
    sued only in their official capacity, cannot be held liable because
    the evidence fails to establish a policy that was the moving force
    behind the constitutional violation.                See Rivera v. Houston Indep.
    Sch. Dist., 
    349 F.3d 244
    (5th Cir. 2003).                  The district court’s
    judgment dismissing the complaint is therefore AFFIRMED.
    *
    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    this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
