How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • 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
