Case: 14-13716 Date Filed: 03/06/2015 Page: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: For the reasons stated in the District Court’s order of July 17, 2014, Doc. 47, officers James Lawrence and Shane Tipton had probable cause to believe that Dwight Tipton had committed petit theft. Therefore, in arresting him, the officers did not infringe Tipton’s Fourth (and Fourteenth) Amendment right to be secure against unreasonable seizure, and the District Court properly granted them summary judgment on Tipton’s claim for damages under
42 U.S.C. § 1983. Because Tipton’s § 1983 claim against Sheriff Louis Roberts III is dependent on a finding of such infringement, the District Court properly granted Sheriff Roberts summary judgment. AFFIRMED. 2
