Before Lynch, Chief Judge, Torruella and Stahl, Circuit Judges.

In this appeal, plaintiff-appellant Jonathan Klaucke challenges the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant-appellee Brian C. Daly, a police officer in Amherst, Massachusetts, on claims alleging violations of Klaucke’s Fourth Amendment rights brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Massachusetts Civil Rights Act. We conclude on the undisputed facts that Officer Daly had ample reasonable suspicion to believe that Klaucke was a minor in possession of alcohol in violation of state law when he detained Klaucke, demanded identification, and briefly retained his driver’s license in order to confirm its validity and check for outstanding warrants. We affirm.
