Before JOLLY and SMITH, Circuit Judges, and STAGG,* District Judge:
PER CURIAM:**
In these two consolidated appeals, we have carefully
considered the briefs, pertinent portions of the record, the
applicable law, and the oral arguments of counsel. We conclude
that there is no reversible error either in the summary judgment
granted in favor of plaintiffs on the issue of liability (which the
city appeals) or in the amount of damages (which the plaintiffs
appeal).
AFFIRMED.
*
District Judge of the Western District of Louisiana, sitting by designation.

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
