• holding that a complainant asserting a malicious prosecution claim must show some deprivation of liberty consistent with a seizure
• holding that post-arraignment deprivation of liberty implicates malicious prosecution rather than false arrest
• affirming summary dismissal of claim on the ground that the facts as to store owner's complaint of theft revealed existence of probable cause
• finding no chilling effect where, after an arrest, the plaintiff continued to publish his newspaper through which he criticized the village government
• distinguishing between claims for false arrest and malicious prosecution on the basis of whether the offending action occurred either pre- or post-arraignment
• analyzing a § 1983 claim for malicious prosecution under the Fourth Amendment rather than under the state-law elements for the same-named offense
