Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
( H-90-CV-2221 )
__________________________________________
September 13, 1996
Before SMITH, DUHÉ, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jesse Nelson, Jr., Texas inmate #688621, appeals the summary
judgment granted the defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, in
which he claimed he was the victim of malicious prosecution.
Nelson urges that the defendants’ evidence was incompetent,
that the lack of detail in the affidavits concerning his
purportedly criminal behavior, which led to the indictment,
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.
indicates that he committed no crime, and that the district court
improperly weighed evidence.
Pursuant to our de novo review, we affirm for essentially
those reasons stated in the district court’s summary judgment
order. See Nelson v. Beaird, No. H-90-2221 (S.D. Tex. Nov. 1,
1995).
Nelson challenges the district court’s denial of his motion
for reconsideration. But, because Nelson failed to amend or alter
his notice of appeal for the purpose of appealing this order, which
was entered after he filed that notice, we lack jurisdiction to
review the denial. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4).
AFFIRMED
