ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
TACHA, Circuit Judge.

Counsel for Appellants conceded at oral argument that the defamation claim against Appellee Brent Ward did not survive the death of Appellant Calvin Black.  We therefore AFFIRM the district court's order granting Appellees' motion for summary judgment on this claim.  We also AFFIRM the district court's dismissal of the false imprisonment claim against Appellees Ben Tafoya, Tim Clark, Daniel Hughes, and Craig Endicott for substantially the reasons given by the district court.
