MEMORANDUM **
2
Randy Lindquist appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor King County, Officers Steve Tucker and Joe Lewis, and Sheriff James Montgomery. Lindquist argues that the search of his residence was unlawful and his constitutional rights were violated.
3
We AFFIRM.
4
Officers Tucker and Lewis are entitled to qualified immunity if, "in light of clearly established principles governing the conduct in question, the officer objectively could have believed that his conduct was lawful." Act Up!/ Portland v. Bagley, 988 F.2d 868, 871 (9th Cir.1993). The question in this case is "whether a reasonably well trained officer in [Tucker's and Lewis's] position would have known that his affidavit failed to establish probable cause and that he should not have applied for the warrant." Malley v. Briggs, 475 U.S. 335, 345 (1985). The district court properly held that the warrant was valid since it was supported by an affidavit establishing probable cause.
5
Lindquist has made no showing upon which liability against King County or Sheriff Montgomery can be established.
6
The district court's grant of summary judgment is AFFIRMED.
