*352 We reject these claims and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the trial court. On appeal, the plaintiff contends that the trial court improperly granted the defendants' motions for summary judgment because genuine issues of material fact exist as to whether Sweeney had probable cause to arrest the plaintiff and because Sweeney and Huleatt are not entitled to governmental immunity. The trial court granted the defendants' motions for summary judgment on all claims, concluding that (1) the plaintiff's arrest was supported by probable cause, which operated as a complete bar to the plaintiff's common-law claims against Sweeney, (2) Huleatt was entitled to governmental immunity from liability for the plaintiff's negligent supervision claim, (3) Sweeney and Huleatt both were entitled to governmental immunity from liability for the plaintiff's § 1983 claims, and (4) the plaintiff could not prevail on her liability claims against the towns because those claims were derivative of her claims against Sweeney and Huleatt.

The plaintiff also asserted direct liability and indemnification claims under General Statutes §§ 52-557n and 7-465, respectively, against the towns of Bloomfield and West Hartford. The plaintiff sought damages from Huleatt for negligent supervision and selective prosecution in violation of 42 U.S.C. The plaintiff sought damages from Sweeney for malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress and selective prosecution in violation of 42 U.S.C. The plaintiff, Selena Brooks, commenced this action against the defendants, Daniel Sweeney, an environmental sanitarian for the health district of the towns of Bloomfield and West Hartford (health district), Stephen Huleatt, Sweeney's supervisor and director of the health district, and the towns of Bloomfield and West Hartford, after she was arrested, pursuant to General Statutes § 19a-220, for failing to repair a septic system that was leaking raw sewage onto her property.
