Opinion

PER CURIAM:

We affirm the district court’s grant of qualified immunity for the reasons articulated in its summary judgment order, Small v. Glynn Cnty., Ga., No. CV 212-115, — F.Supp.3d —, 2014 WL 4928877 (S.D.Ga. Sept. 30, 2014). We note that the district court expressly took care to construe the facts in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs. Accordingly, we agree with the district court that an “objectively reasonable official standing in the [officers’] place” would not have been on notice that using deadly force against Ms. Small “would be clearly unlawful given the circumstances.” See Pace v. Capobianco, 283 F.3d 1275, 1282 (11th Cir.2002).

AFFIRMED.
