Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 68 F.3d 478 (8th Cir. 1995) Submitted: Sept. 15, 1995. Filed: Oct. 3, 1995

Before WOLLMAN, LOKEN, and ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Bobby Flud appeals from the district court's1  order granting defendants' motion for summary judgment in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 case. For reversal, Flud argues that his Fourth Amendment rights were violated by an arrest without probable cause and an arrest in his home in the nighttime without a warrant.

In granting summary judgment, the district court found that the entry into Flud's home was consensual; that the arrest was supported by probable cause; and that the officers were protected by qualified immunity based on their reasonable belief that they had obtained consent to enter. The district court's memorandum opinion reveals a careful, well-reasoned analysis of these issues. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
