Before DAVIS, BENAVIDES and STEWART, Circuit Judges.


PER CURIAM:*

       The Does appeal the district court’s dismissal of their complaint for failure to state a

claim. The Does first argue that the district court erred in determining that the facts alleged in


       *
           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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
their complaint were insufficient to set forth an actionable violation of Title IX of the education

amendments of 1972. The facts alleged in the Does’ complaint do not show that the appellees

acted with deliberate indifference, nor do they show that Mary Doe was subjected to pervasive

sexual harassment. See Davis v. Monroe County Bd. of Educ., 526 U.S. 629 (1999). The Does

have not shown that the district court erred in granting the appellees’ Rule 12(b)(6) motion with

respect to their Title IX claim.

        The Does likewise contend that the district court erred in determining that the facts

alleged in their complaint were insufficient to show set forth an actionable violation of 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983. However, the facts alleged in the Does’ complaint are insufficient to state a cause of

action pursuant to the state-created-danger theory of § 1983 liability, as these facts do not show

that the appellees’ affirmative conduct caused the danger to which Mary Doe was exposed. See

McClendon v. City of Columbia, 258 F.3d 432 (5th Cir. 2001). The Does have not shown that

the district court erred in granting the appellees’ Rule 12(b)(6) motion with respect to their §

1983 claim.

        Finally, the individual appellees alternatively contend that they are entitled to qualified

immunity, and the Does dispute this contention. Because we have determined that the Does have

failed to state a claim against the appellees on which relief could be granted, there is no need to

consider this issue.

        The Does have not shown that the district court erred in granting the appellees’ Rule

12(b)(6) motion and dismissing their suit. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is

AFFIRMED.
