Unreported / Non-Citable
Background
Brandie Astran appealed from a case in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas involving the Austin Police Department, Pflugerville Police Department, City of Austin, City of Pflugerville, and Travis County Medical Examiner Office.
The Fifth Circuit’s brief, unpublished summary-calendar opinion does not describe Astran’s claims, the district court’s reasoning, or the specific judgment under review.
The Court’s Holding
After reviewing Astran’s brief and the record, the Fifth Circuit found no reversible error and affirmed the district court’s judgment.
The per curiam panel cited Fifth Circuit Rule 47.6 and provided no additional analysis. The opinion therefore establishes only that the panel found no basis in the presented brief and record to reverse the judgment.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court’s judgment.
- The panel found no reversible error after reviewing the appellant’s brief and the record.
- The unpublished opinion does not identify the underlying claims or provide substantive reasoning.
Why It Matters
The decision ends Astran’s appeal in the Fifth Circuit with the district court’s judgment intact. Because the panel issued only a summary affirmance, the opinion offers no detailed guidance on the legal or factual issues underlying the dispute.
