In plaintiff’s 42 U.S.C. section 1983 claim asserting a Fourth Amendment violations for malicious prosecution against the City of Chicago and detectives from the Chicago Police Department, district court’s dismissal of the action is affirmed as, the Seventh Circuit precedent does not permit an action for malicious prosecution under section 1983 if a state remedy exists, and plaintiff has explicitly limited his appeal to asking to overrule the precedent and there is no reason to overturn circuit precedent.
