                     Appeals from the United States District Court
                         for the Middle District of Alabama

                                   (December 19, 2006)

Before DUBINA and WILSON, Circuit Judges, and CORRIGAN,* District Judge.

________________________
       *Honorable Timothy J. Corrigan, United States District Judge for the Middle District of
Florida, sitting by designation.
PER CURIAM:

        In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Appellant Sylvia Summers (“Summers”)

appeals the district court’s denial of qualified immunity and discretionary function

immunity from liability for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution. Cross-

Appellant, Thomas Strickland (“Strickland”), appeals the district court’s entry of

summary judgment in favor of Summers on his false arrest claims.

        After reviewing the record, having the benefit of oral argument, and reading

the parties’ briefs, we affirm the district court’s judgment on the appeal and cross-

appeal based on the district court’s well-reasoned order filed on November 8,

2005.

        AFFIRMED.

                                          2
