  Before BAUER, RIPPLE, and ROVNER, Circuit Judges.
  BAUER, Circuit Judge. Carl R. Kramer sued the Village
of North Fond du Lac and Chief of Police Larry Wodack,
seeking damages for various constitutional violations, all
under the umbrella of 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The events giving
rise to the lawsuit occurred in 1996 after a criminal inves-
tigation into illegal gambling at taverns in the Village of
North Fond du Lac by means of “payouts” (i.e., exchange of
cash for accumulation of points) on “Cherry Master” video slot
gambling machines. The lower court granted the defendants
summary judgment. The district court’s Decision and Order is
attached. After careful review, we affirm and adopt the
Decision and Order as our own.
