Before HULL, MARTIN, and BALDOCK,* Circuit Judges.

HULL, Circuit Judge: 

Plaintiff Edward Butler appeals from the district court’s order granting 

Defendant Scott Hagemann’s motion for summary judgment. Butler brought an 

action alleging malicious prosecution under federal and state law,1 relying in part 

on 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The district court determined that Butler’s malicious 

prosecution claims failed because Hagemann had probable cause to arrest Butler 

on suspicion of armed robbery. The district court entered final judgment in favor 

of Hagemann.

After review of the record and with the benefit of oral argument, we affirm.

AFFIRMED.

 * Honorable Bobby R. Baldock, United States Circuit Judge for the Tenth Circuit, sitting 

by designation.

1 Butler brought other claims that were dismissed before Defendant Hagemann’s motion 

for summary judgment, but those claims are not at issue in this appeal.
