1Opinion of the Court
CARNES, Circuit Judge:
James Joel, a homeless person, was arrested by City of Orlando (“City”) police officers for violating Section 43.52 of the City’s Code. That provision prohibits “camping” on public property, which is defined to include, among other things, “sleeping out-of-doors.” Joel filed a complaint in the district court claiming that Section 43.52 violates his rights under the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the City and Joel appeals. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
