Invoking the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and Indiana state law, Williams sued Carriage House, Avert, and Carriage House’s parent company Gene B. Glick Company, Inc., in Marion County Superior Court. She contended that the arrest lacked probable cause and involved excessive force, that the defendants attempted to evict her because of her race, and that the inspection of her apartment violated her privacy. The defendants removed the action to federal district court. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1443. After Williams added Deputy Butts to the caption (he was already in the body of the complaint), Butts moved for summary judgment. The court granted that motion, concluding that Williams had failed to serve Butts with process and that any claim against him was untimely. Carriage House, Glick, and Avert also moved for summary judgment. The court granted those motions, reasoning that they were factually unfounded, and, exercising its supplemental jurisdiction, see 28 U.S.C. § 1367, dismissed all the claims with prejudice.1
