                                      York, New York, for Defendants-Cross-Defendants-Appellees
                                      City of New York, Office of the Sheriff of the City of New York.

       Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New

York (Mauskopf, J.). UPON DUE CONSIDERATION it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED,

AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court be AFFIRMED.

       Sheriff Andre Jackson appeals the district court’s March 30, 2010 order granting the

municipal parties’ motion for summary judgment on his cross-claim for reimbursement and

indemnification of attorney’s fees incurred litigating a civil action in which both the City and

Jackson were defendants. He also appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

summary judgment on the same claim.

       After reviewing the issues on appeal and the record of proceedings below, we affirm for

substantially the same reasons articulated by the district court in its thorough and well-reasoned

order and opinion.

       Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

                                              FOR THE COURT:

                                              Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk

                                                 2
