ON APPEAL FROM THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE MIDDLE
DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE
OPINION

McKEAGUE and GRIFFIN, Circuit Judges; and DLOTT, District Judge.*

PER CURIAM. Plaintiff Joyce Brown appeals the district court’s award of summary
judgment to defendant law enforcement officers on her civil rights and tort claims stemming from
two encounters in August and December 2009. Having duly considered the district court’s opinion
and the record in light of the parties’ appellate briefing, we find that plaintiff has not raised any
argument that is not fairly and properly addressed in the district court’s opinion. Although we
review the district court’s ruling de novo, we find no error. Concluding that a separate opinion
would be duplicative and unnecessary, we hereby AFFIRM the district court’s summary judgment
ruling on the reasoning of its opinion.

Honorable Susan J. Dlott, Chief United States District Judge for the Southern District of
Ohio, sitting by designation.
