PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 15-2959 Page: 1 Date Filed: 01/29/2016 Entry ID: 4361422 
John McGee appeals after the DistrictCourt granted summary judgment to the

1

defendants in McGee’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action claiming that he was unlawfully

arrested. After de novo review, we conclude that the grant ofsummary judgment was

proper because the evidence in the record, viewed in the light most favorable to

McGee, and all reasonable inferences in McGee’s favor to be drawn therefrom

establish beyond genuine dispute that his arrest was not unlawful. See Laganiere v.

Cty. of Olmsted, 772 F.3d 1114, 1116 (8th Cir. 2014) (standard of review); see also

Fisher v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 619 F.3d 811, 816 (8th Cir. 2010) (discussing

warrantless arrests under the Fourth Amendment standard). Accordingly, we affirm.

The Honorable Mark E. Ford, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western 1

District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent

of the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
