ORDER AND JUDGMENT**
SEYMOUR, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiffs appeal the summary judgment granted by the district court in favor of defendants Remington Arms Company, Inc. and the City and County of Denver. We have carefully reviewed the record in light of plaintiffs' arguments, and we are not persuaded that the district court erred. In particular, we agree with the district court that plaintiffs' evidence would not support a finding by the jury that Denver's training policy constituted deliberate indifference to the safety of Officer Wier. Nor does plaintiffs' evidence support a triable issue of fact on causation between the death of Officer Wier or the injury of Officer Samson and the allegedly defective ammunition provided by Remington.
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
The Honorable Richard Owen, United States District Judge for the Southern District of New York, sitting by designation
