PER CURIAM:

            James and Sharon Jones appeal a district court order

granting summary judgment to the City of Frederick and Loumis

Gene   Alston    and    dismissing       their       civil     rights      complaint

concerning    James     Jones’    mistaken         arrest    for     a    crime   and

dismissing    their     state    law     claims      arising       from    the    same

incident.     We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

memorandum    opinion    and    affirm       for   the   reasons    cited    by   the

district court.       See Jones v. City of Frederick, Md., No. 1:07-

cv-03010-AMD (D. Md. June 19, 2008).                     We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                                            AFFIRMED
