Michael T. McLaren v. Sheriff Ron McNesby

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Michael T. McLaren appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgement in favor of Defendants Ron McNesby, Sheriff of Escambia County, and- Rene Vasquez Reguindin, Deputy Sheriff, on the grounds that defendants were entitled to qualified immunity. Count I of the complaint is a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim against Reguindin in his individual capacity for unlawful detention. Count II is a state law claim for unlawful detention pled in the alternative against both Reguindin and McNesby. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Reguindin on Count I and, declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims, dismissed Count II without prejudice.

We affirm the grant of qualified immunity, agreeing with the district court that McLaren cannot show improper detention as a result of a failure to disclose truly exculpatory evidence.

AFFIRMED.
