PER CURIAM:
After reviewing the record and the briefs in this case, we agree with the district court — for the reasons stated in its September 8, 2005 order granting summary judgment — -that Mr. Smith would have been demoted for insubordination notwithstanding the email he wrote on May 16, 2002, as president of the Chatham County Fire Chiefs Association, and that Mr. Brown is entitled to qualified immunity-
AFFIRMED.
