Before SHEPHERD, BYE, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.
       DaCosta Daniels appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action asserting a Fourth Amendment excessive-
force claim and a state-law assault claim against a police officer.

       After careful de novo review, viewing the evidence and drawing all reasonable
inferences in favor of Daniels, see Laganiere v. Cty. of Olmsted, 772 F.3d 1114, 1116
(8th Cir. 2014), we conclude that the district court properly granted summary
judgment based on qualified immunity, see Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386, 396-97
(1989); Crumley v. City of St. Paul, 324 F.3d 1003, 1007 (8th Cir. 2003), and
statutory immunity, see Iowa Code § 804.8(1); Johnson v. Civil Serv. Comm’n, 352
N.W.2d 252, 257 (Iowa 1984).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable Mark W. Bennett, United States District Judge for the
Northern District of Iowa.
