ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before TACHA, SETH, and EBEL, Circuit Judges. 

Counsel for Appellants conceded at oral argument that the 

defamation claim against Appellee Brent Ward did not survive the 

death of Appellant Calvin Black. We therefore AFFIRM the district 

court's order granting Appellees' motion for summary judgment on 

this claim. We also AFFIRM the district court's dismissal of the 

false imprisonment claim against Appellees Ben Tafoya, Tim Clark, 

Daniel Hughes, and Craig Endicott for substantially the reasons 

given by the district court.
