PER CURIAM.

Jennifer Pederson brought this action against the defendants for detaining her

in jail for twelve hours after a court had ordered her release. Her complaint contained

a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1983 along with various state law claims. The district

 granted the defendants summary judgment on the federal claim and declined

to exercise further jurisdiction over the state law claims. Ms. Pederson appeals.

We have already dealt with similar suits against these same defendants in

previous cases and have found them to be without merit. See, e.g., Lund v. Hennepin

County, 427 F.3d 1123 (8th Cir. 2005); Russell v. Hennepin County, 420 F.3d 841

(8th Cir. 2005). Finding nothing in the instant case to distinguish it from these others,

we believe that an extended discussion is unnecessary and affirm the judgment of the

district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
