versus
CHARLES BYERLY,
Individually and in his Official Capacity as
Deputy Sheriff for Camden County, Georgia,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Georgia
_________________________
(April 14, 2009)
Before DUBINA, BLACK and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Charles Byerly appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to dismiss
based on the defense of qualified immunity. On appeal, Byerly argues the district
court should have granted his motion for the following reasons: (1) he was acting
within the scope of his discretionary authority, (2) the complaint does not establish
a constitutional violation because Appellee Malissa Brown was arrested pursuant
to a valid warrant, and (3) he did not violate a clearly established law. After de
novo review, we conclude the district court did not err in denying Byerly’s motion
to dismiss based on the defense of qualified immunity.
AFFIRMED.
