PER CURIAM:
LaDerrick L. Alston appeals the district court’s order and
judgment granting summary judgment to the Town of Winnsboro and
James Jimmy Burroughs and dismissing Alston’s civil rights
complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. As for Alston’s claim that Burroughs did not have probable
cause to arrest him and did not seek to have the charges dismissed
after it was revealed that Alston was innocent, we find that
Burroughs was entitled to qualified immunity. See Porterfield v.
Lott, 156 F.3d 563 (4th Cir. 1998). We further find that Alston
did not establish a claim against the Town of Winnsboro. See Doe
v. Broderick, 225 F.3d 440, 455-56 (4th Cir. 2000). Accordingly,
we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
