Before TJOFLAT and HULL, Circuit Judges, and HALL,

∗ District Judge.

PER CURIAM:

After review of the record and with the benefit of oral argument by counsel 

for the parties, this Court finds no reversible error in the district court’s September 

18, 2014 order (1) granting defendants Sheriff Gary S. Borders and Deputy 

Richard Sylvester’s motion for summary judgment with respect to all of plaintiffs 

Amy Young, John Scott, and Miranda Mauck’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims against 

Sheriff Borders, in his official capacity as Sheriff of Lake County, Florida, and 

Deputy Sylvester, in his individual capacity, and state law claims for wrongful 

death of the decedent, Andrew Scott, assault of Mauck, and false imprisonment of 

Mauck, and (2) denying plaintiffs Young, Scott, and Mauck’s motion for partial 

summary judgment with respect to their § 1983 claims against defendant Borders. 

We echo the district court’s expression of sympathy for the plaintiffs’ loss, but 

while the facts of this case are tragic, we can find no reversible error in the district 

court’s ultimate qualified immunity rulings. Accordingly, we must affirm the 

district court’s final judgment in favor of the defendants on all of plaintiffs’ claims.

AFFIRMED.

Honorable J. Randal Hall, United States District Judge for the Southern District of 

Georgia, sitting by designation.
