Melissa White (“White”), the widow of John White (“Decedent”), appeals the district court’s order granting defendant Beverly Cunningham’s (“Cunningham”) motion for summary judgment on White’s claims brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 .

The facts of this case are known to the parties and we do not repeat them here.
