    Aubrey Dale Pittman, Pittman Law Firm, P.C., Dallas, TX, for Plaintiff-Appel-lee.

    Before REAVLEY, PRADO, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

This is an interlocutory appeal in which five individual Defendants who were detention officers at the Dallas County Jail assert qualified immunity. This court has no jurisdiction to review this kind of interlocutory appeal except “to the extent that [the district court’s denial of summary judgment] turns on an issue of law.” Kinney v. Weaver, 367 F.3d 337, 346 (5th Cir.2004) (quoting Mitchell v. Forsyth, 472 U.S. 511, 530, 105 S.Ct. 2806, 2817, 86 L.Ed.2d 411 (1985))(en banc). Defendants appeal the denial of their separate motions for summary judgment on the ground that Plaintiff failed to prove that her son’s death resulted “directly and only” from the use of excessive force. Because the answer to that question of law determines the correctness of the judgment, we have jurisdiction of the appeal.

We have previously rejected Defendants’ interpretation of language requiring that a victim’s injury resulted “directly and only” from the use of excessive force. This language comes from our decision in Johnson v. Morel, 876 F.2d 477 (5th Cir.1989) (en banc). In Mouille v. City of Live Oak, the defendants argued that Johnson’s “directly and only” language “require[d] plaintiffs to provide expert medical testimony showing that the plaintiffs injury was caused exclusively by the defendant’s conduct.” 918 F.2d 548, 553 (5th Cir.1990) (emphasis added). We rejected that interpretation, stating that “[t]he [directly-and-only] language quoted from Johnson cannot be isolated to create a new and different rule of proof’ — that is, above ordinary proof of causation. Id. Accordingly, Mouille clarifies that Plaintiff in this case was not required to present evidence that Defendants’ use of excessive force was the exclusive cause of her son’s death; so long as the injury resulted from “clearly excessive and objectively unreasonable” force, her claim is actionable. Id.

Rejecting that issue appealed and having no jurisdiction to review the existence or decision of factual issues, we affirm the judgment.

AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
