Heading: Padula's Remaining Claims

Text: Padula also filed claims against the City, the Police Department, and Chief Machuca for failing to adequately train and supervise the Officers, and for condoning and ratifying excessive force, both of which, he contends, resulted in the constitutional violations he alleges occurred. That Clement makes no legal arguments regarding either claim until his reply brief permits us to find the issues waived. See United States v. Diaz, 533 F.3d 574, 577 (7th Cir.2008) (arguments raised for the first time in a reply brief are waived). Even if not waived, however, the arguments cannot succeed. Since Padula's underlying claims for wrongful arrest and excessive force failed, his claims for failure to train and for condoning and ratifying excessive force must also fail. See Carlson v. Bukovic, 621 F.3d 610, 623 (7th Cir. 2010); Estate of Phillips, 123 F.3d at 596-97. We thus affirm the district court's decision to grant summary judgment for the defendants on Padula's remaining federal claims.
