Text: 16 Finally, the district court properly granted summary judgment to City police officer Lt. Twilling, who supervised the City police officers present in the Cathedral. Appellants offered no evidence that he participated directly in the arrests at issue. The officers that he supervised acted constitutionally in accepting custody of the appellants. He also is entitled to qualified immunity for accepting custody of appellants Reali and Szabo from state police officers outside of the Cathedral because it was objectively reasonable for him to believe his actions were authorized by statute. See Augustine v. McDonald, 770 F.2d 1442, 1445-46 (9th Cir.1985) (an officer is entitled to qualified immunity where his or her actions were authorized by a statute that was not clearly unconstitutional).
