Opinion
Appellant brought an action against McIntosh County, Georgia, Stephen Jess-up, as Sheriff of McIntosh County, and Captain James Lyons under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of all the defendants. In this appeal the Appellant challenges that ruling only as to Captain James Lyons.
After studying the briefs and the record, we affirm the ruling of the district court for the reasons set forth in its ORDER of September 29, 2010. Based upon the un-contradicted facts surrounding the obtaining of the arrest warrant, Captain James Lyons is entitled to qualified immunity.
AFFIRMED.
