1Opinion of the Court

ROGERS, Circuit Judge.

Andrea Willis appeals the grant of summary judgment to defendant law enforcement officers and them respective municipal employers on her § 1983 claim based on allegations that Willis was arrested without probable cause and on her state law claims of outrageous conduct and false arrest. Willis’s arrest was supported by probable cause, thus shielding the officers and municipalities from liability. The district court also properly considered Willis’s claims of outrageous conduct and false arrest. Therefore, the grant of summary judgment was proper.
