Heading: Credibility and Intent

Text: 144 Lastly, Ms. Cooper contends that the district court prematurely disposed of her § 1981 claim and her state law false imprisonment claim and made credibility and factual determinations that should have been made by the jury. As to her § 1981 claim, there is no legitimate factual dispute as to whether Ms. Cooper attempted to purchase an item from Dillard's. Because we have held as a matter of law that Ms. Cooper is not a third-party beneficiary of the contract between Ms. Hampton and Dillard's, her claim as to outstanding credibility determinations raises no material facts. 145 As to her false imprisonment claim, we agree with the district court that Mr. Wilson's statement to Ms. Hampton that she needed to calm down or he would call the Overland Park Police, does not constitute false imprisonment. See Thompson v. General Fin. Co., 468 P.2d 269, 280 (Kan. 1970) (listing elements of false imprisonment claim); see also Wright v. Montgomery Ward & Co., 814 F. Supp. 986, 989 (D. Kan. 1993) (discussing false imprisonment under Kansas law). Ms. Cooper has failed to state a claim as a matter of law and we affirm the district court's grant of summary judgment as to all of Ms. Cooper's claims.
