1Opinion of the Court
RILEY, Chief Judge.
Joan Burke brought this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Deputy Curtis Sullivan, Deputy Andrea Nack, and Corporal Robert Bell (collectively, officers) of the St. Charles County (Missouri) Sheriffs Department, claiming the officers unlawfully entered her home and detained her in violation of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. The district court 1 granted summary judgment in favor of the officers, concluding the officers did not violate Burke’s constitutional rights and were therefore entitled to qualified immunity. Burke appeals, and we affirm.
