PER CURIAM.

David Meador appeals from the district court’s1

 adverse grant of summary

judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against a deputy sheriff and the sheriff of

Barnes County, North Dakota, alleging that he was subject to an unlawful arrest in

violation of his constitutional rights. Upon de novo review, we conclude that

summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated in the district court’s order. See

Pearson v. Callahan, 129 S. Ct. 808, 815-16 (2009) (qualified immunity); Thomas v.

Dickel, 213 F.3d 1023, 1026 (8th Cir. 2000) (a failure-to-train claim cannot stand

unless there is liability on an underlying substantive claim). Accordingly, we affirm.

See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
