   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2037
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Wollman and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. On this record, the district court did not err in
   granting police officers qualified immunity on plaintiff's claim that his
   arrest violated his civil rights; plaintiff's failure to present probative
   evidence of an unconstitutional policy or custom was fatal to his claims
   against the St. Louis police board; plaintiff's brief presents no arguments
   challenging the district court's dismissal of claims against the City of St.
   Louis, its mayor and two city counselors, and the dismissal of those claims
   is summarily affirmed; on claim that the school board defendants and its
   security officers retaliated against plaintiff based on his exercise of his
   First Amendment rights, the claim fails because plaintiff failed to refute the
   defendants' evidence that the actions were not motivated by retaliatory
   animus; further, plaintiff was arrested when he refused police requests to
   leave the meeting and there was an insufficient factual nexus between the
   security officers' actions and plaintiff's arrest; district court did not err in
   dismissing plaintiff's conspiracy claims when he failed to establish a
   deprivation of a constitutional right.
