   MEMORANDUM

Redames Lopez Rolon appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that law enforcement officers violated his Fourth Amendment rights by illegally searching his home and arresting him. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Stoot v. City of Everett, 582 F.3d 910, 918 (9th Cir.2009). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Rolon’s unlawful search and arrest claims because Rolon failed to controvert the defendants’ evidence that the search warrant and arrest were supported by probable cause. See Dawson v. City of Seattle, 435 F.3d 1054, 1062 (9th Cir.2006) (discussing probable cause standard for searches); Picray v. Sealock, 138 F.3d 767, 770 (9th Cir.1998) (holding that a warrantless arrest does not violate the Fourth Amendment if the officers had probable cause to believe the suspect had committed or was about to commit a crime); see also CaLPenal Code § 847(b)(1) (barring liability for false arrest or imprisonment where the officer “had reasonable cause to believe the arrest was lawful”).

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Rolon’s negligent infliction of emotional distress claim because Rolon failed to introduce evidence creating a genuine issue as to whether the defendants acted negligently. See Marlene F. v. Affiliated Psychiatric Med. Clinic, Inc., 48 Cal.3d 583, 588, 257 Cal.Rptr. 98, 770 P.2d 278 (1989) (explaining that the elements of duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages apply to an action for negligent infliction of emotional distress).

Rolon’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
