Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 61 F.3d 912 (9th Cir. 1995) Submitted July 17, 1995. *Decided July 20, 1995

Before: FLETCHER, KOZINSKI and THOMPSON, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM** 

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officers Todd Hyatt and Mark Tavarez appeal the district court's order denying their motion for summary judgment based on the defense of qualified immunity. In the underlying 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Lynn Thompson alleged that the officers unlawfully stopped his van, searched him, and arrested him. The district court denied the officers' motion on the ground that the facts surrounding the stop, search and arrest were disputed. We lack jurisdiction to review the district court's determination that the pretrial record sets forth genuine issues of fact for trial. See Johnson v. Jones, 132 L. Ed. 2d 238 (1995). Accordingly, this appeal is

DISMISSED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
