Before HULL, WILSON and HILL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Case: 12-10106 Date Filed: 02/01/2013 Page: 1 of 2

-- 1 of 2 --

2
Defendants-Appellants Jennifer Watkins and Hunter Aldridge appeal the
district court’s denial of their motion for summary judgment on the basis of
qualified immunity and state-agent immunity as to Plaintiff-Appellee Silvadnie
Quainoo’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and state law claims. Quainoo’s claims arose out of a
traffic stop conducted by Watkins and Aldridge, who were at the time police
officers with the City of Huntsville Police Department. After reviewing the
parties’ briefs and the record, and with the benefit of oral argument, we affirm the
district court’s denial of qualified and state-agent immunity to Watkins and
Aldridge for the reasons stated in the district court’s thorough and well-reasoned
order dated December 9, 2011.
AFFIRMED.
