October 10, 1996
Before JONES, DeMOSS and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Mississippi prisoner Clifton J. Epps, No. C43419, appeals
the district court’s dismissal of his civil rights suit against
the State of Mississippi; Mississippi probation officers Patrick
Munday, David McMillan, and Susan Oswalt; Madison County Sheriff
Jessie Hopkins; and Madison County Sheriff’s Department
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
No. 96-60269

detectives Larry Saxton and Jimmy Dixon. Epps does not argue
that the district court erred by dismissing his claims against
the State, his official-capacity claims against defendants Munday
and McMillan, his claims against defendant Oswalt, or his claim
based on an alleged wrongful seizure of property. See Brinkmann
v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th
Cir. 1987). Epps’s claims against defendants Hopkins, Saxton,
and Dixon have not accrued because his allegations implicate the
validity of his conviction, which has not been invalidated or
called into question by a state or federal court. Heck v.
Humphrey, 114 S. Ct. 2364, 2372 (1994). The uncontroverted
summary-judgment evidence shows that the actions of defendants
Munday and McMillan were objectively reasonable. See Rankin v.
Klevenhagen, 5 F.3d 103, 105 (5th Cir. 1993).
AFFIRMED.
