Before WILSON, JILL PRYOR, and TALLMAN, ∗ Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

       Adelina McCulley, Clarence McCulley, and John Richmond (collectively,

Appellants) brought § 1983 malicious prosecution actions against Detective Jeffrey

Jones. The district court dismissed Appellants’ complaint, reasoning that Jones

was entitled to qualified immunity because he had probable cause to arrest

Appellants. Appellants then moved to amend the judgment, which was denied.

Appellants appealed. After careful review and with the benefit of oral argument,

we affirm the district court’s well-reasoned opinion.

∗The Honorable Richard C. Tallman, United States Circuit Judge for the United States Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, sitting by designation.
                                              2
