    Before TJOFLAT, MARTIN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

    Case: 14-14678

    Date Filed: 04/17/2015

    Page: 2 of 2

    PER CURIAM:
    In this case, Plaintiff Claudette Jones pulled her car into a banks
    handicapped parking space without a handicapped parking placard hanging from
    her rear view mirror or an appropriate parking sticker on her cars license plate.
    Defendant Gregory Lose, a police officer monitoring the handicapped parking
    spacesbecause, according to the bank, they were being used unlawfully
    approached Jones and asked to see her drivers license. Jones refused Officer
    Loses request, stating: You have no right to see that. Officer Lose therefore
    arrested her.
    In Count I of Joness amended complaint, she alleged that this encounter
    constituted a stop and seizure in violation of the Fourth Amendment. 1 Officer
    Lose pled the defense of qualified immunity and moved for summary judgment.
    The District Court granted Officer Loses motion for summary judgment on Count
    I. Jones appeals. We affirm. First, Officer Lose had arguable reasonable
    suspicion to conduct an investigatory stop. And when Jones refused to show him
    her drivers license, Officer Lose had arguable probable cause to arrest her for
    driving without a current drivers license.
    AFFIRMED.
    1

    We assume that Count I was brought under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
    Amendment, which incorporates the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and
    seizures. See Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643, 65556, 81 S. Ct. 1684, 169192, 6 L. Ed. 2d 1081
    (1961).
