EDWARD BUTLER, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE, SCOTT HAGEMANN, Defendants - Appellees.
[DO NOT PUBLISH] D.C. Docket No. 0:14-cv-60003-JIC Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida Before HULL, MARTIN, and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges. HULL, Circuit Judge:
Honorable Bobby R. Baldock, United States Circuit Judge for the Tenth Circuit, sitting by designation.
Plaintiff Edward Butler appeals from the district court's order granting Defendant Scott Hagemann's motion for summary judgment. Butler brought an action alleging malicious prosecution under federal and state law, relying in part on 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The district court determined that Butler's malicious prosecution claims failed because Hagemann had probable cause to arrest Butler on suspicion of armed robbery. The district court entered final judgment in favor of Hagemann.
Butler brought other claims that were dismissed before Defendant Hagemann's motion for summary judgment, but those claims are not at issue in this appeal. --------
After review of the record and with the benefit of oral argument, we affirm.
AFFIRMED.
