Before HULL, MARTIN, and BALDOCK,* Circuit Judges.
HULL, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiff Edward Butler appeals from the district court’s order granting
Defendant Scott Hagemann’s motion for summary judgment. Butler brought an
action alleging malicious prosecution under federal and state law,1 relying in part
on 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The district court determined that Butler’s malicious
prosecution claims failed because Hagemann had probable cause to arrest Butler
on suspicion of armed robbery. The district court entered final judgment in favor
of Hagemann.
After review of the record and with the benefit of oral argument, we affirm.
AFFIRMED.
* Honorable Bobby R. Baldock, United States Circuit Judge for the Tenth Circuit, sitting
by designation.
1 Butler brought other claims that were dismissed before Defendant Hagemann’s motion
for summary judgment, but those claims are not at issue in this appeal.
