                             USDC No. 2:16-CV-3767


Before HAYNES, GRAVES, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Plaintiff-Appellants, two former participants in Jefferson Parish’s Drug
Court, brought this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. They alleged
members of the Drug Court, acting in their official and individual capacities,


       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

                                  No. 18-30002
violated their constitutional rights to due process by jailing them for technical
program violations without a hearing and for giving them “flat time” sentences
that did not allow the ability to earn credit for good behavior. The district court
dismissed the claims against three Defendants, a Drug Court administrator, a
Drug Court supervisor, and Drug Court probation officer, and entered a final
judgment in their favor.
      We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the applicable law, and the
relevant portions of the record. We AFFIRM the judgment of the district court
for the reasons explained in the district court’s orders dated May 23, 2017,
August 1, 2017, October 31, 2017, and December 19, 2017.
