Description
Plaintiff Brandon Fox appeals from the judgment entered in favor of defendants Officer Ronald DeSoto and the Louisville Regional Airport Authority on claims arising from his arrest and subsequent prosecution for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The district court dismissed plaintiffs state law claims for false arrest and imprisonment and for assault and battery as time-barred, and granted summary judgment to defendants on the remaining claims. The district court found DeSoto was entitled to qualified immunity on the plaintiffs Fourth Amendment claims, and concluded that the plaintiff could not prevail on either the claim for malicious prosecution against DeSoto or on the derivative claim against the Airport Authority for negligent hiring, training, and/or retention of DeSoto. After review of the record and the applicable law, we affirm the judgment, albeit on the somewhat different grounds as dictated by the recent decision in Wallace v. Kato, 127 S.Ct. 1091 (2007).
