No. 95-1429.
United States Court of Appeals,Eighth Circuit.
Submitted:  Sept. 15, 1995.Filed:  Oct. 3, 1995.

Before WOLLMAN, LOKEN, and ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.

1
Bobby Flud appeals from the district court's1 order granting defendants' motion for summary judgment in this 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 case.  For reversal, Flud argues that his Fourth Amendment rights were violated by an arrest without probable cause and an arrest in his home in the nighttime without a warrant.

2
In granting summary judgment, the district court found that the entry into Flud's home was consensual;  that the arrest was supported by probable cause;  and that the officers were protected by qualified immunity based on their reasonable belief that they had obtained consent to enter.  The district court's memorandum opinion reveals a careful, well-reasoned analysis of these issues.  Accordingly, we affirm the judgment.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
