LISA Y.S. WEST,

versus
DEPUTY TERRY DAVIS,
Defendant - Appellee.
________________________
Appeal from the United States District Court

Before MARCUS, WILLIAM PRYOR, and JORDAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

Case: 14-15706

Date Filed: 05/06/2015

Page: 2 of 2

Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs, we agree with
the district court’s well-reasoned opinion, see West v. Davis, No. 1:12-CV-00661RWS, 2014 WL 6990294 (N.D. Ga. Dec. 9, 2014), and we conclude that Deputy
Davis is entitled to qualified immunity. Simply stated, Ms. West did not meet her
burden of showing that Deputy Davis’ actions violated clearly established law.
The cases Ms. West cites are either factually distinguishable or were decided after
the event in question took place.1
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s ruling.
AFFIRMED.
