          Appeal from the United States District Court

                           May 29, 2001

Before DAVIS, JONES, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Jerry and Linda Hall appeal the district court’s summary

judgment in favor of the defendants on their claims brought under

42 U.S.C. § 1983 and Mississippi state law.    The Halls failed to

     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

                                  -2-

present competent summary-judgment evidence in support of their

claims in the appellate record.     The Halls may assert on appeal

that the evidence presented by the defendants created issues of

material fact that would preclude summary judgment.     See John v.

Louisiana (Bd. of Tr. for St. Coll. and Univ.), 757 F.2d 698,

709-13 (5th Cir. 1985).

     The Halls contend that the district court erred in granting

qualified immunity in favor of Deputy Billy Higgins and Deputy

Todd Dykes.    They assert that the deputies acted in a “plainly

incompetent” manner by failing to assist Linda Hall in regaining

custody of her adopted daughter.     At the time of the situation

and under the circumstances set forth in the defendants’ summary-

judgment evidence, the deputies’ actions were objectively

reasonable.    See Spann v. Rainey, 987 F.2d 1110, 1114 (5th Cir.

1993).

     Linda Hall also asserts that the deputies’ actions in

arresting her without a warrant were not objectively reasonable.

According to the summary-judgment evidence, Dykes and Higgins

arrested Mrs. Hall after she repeatedly failed to comply with

their orders to leave the scene.     Their actions in arresting her

without first seeking a warrant were objectively reasonable under

state law.    See MISS CODE ANN. § 99-3-7(1).

     The Halls have failed to challenge the district court’s

denial of Linda’s allegation of false imprisonment, their claims

against Sheriff W. Martin Pace in his individual capacity, the

claims against the defendants in their official capacities and

against the Warren County Sheriff’s Department, their Fifth

Amendment claims, and their state-law claims.   These issues are

therefore deemed abandoned.   Brinkmann v. Abner, 813 F.2d 744,

748 (5th Cir. 1987).   The district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
