OPINION
TODD, Justice.
Robert K. Brown was arrested on a charge of issuing a worthless check. His claims of mistaken identity, which he asserted immediately, subsequently proved true. The defendant, Joseph M. Labat, is an assistant Minneapolis city attorney. La-bat refused to dismiss the charges or investigate facts furnished by Brown as to the mistaken identity. Upon dismissal of the charges Brown brought this action based upon malicious prosecution. The trial court granted Labat’s motion for summary judgment1 on the grounds of absolute immunity.
We affirm.
The facts relevant to this appeal are…
