John Robert McGee v. Jonathon E. Broz

RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Circuit Judge.

John Robert McGee filed suit against Jonathon E. Broz pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging a violation of Mr. McGee’s constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment. The District Court 2 held that Mr. Broz was entitled to qualified immunity and granted his motion for summary judgment. Mr. McGee appeals, and we affirm. We hold that Mr. Broz, a Missouri prosecuting attorney, was in possession of facts sufficient to justify an objectively reasonable official in believing that Mr. McGee had committed a crime, even though this belief turned out to be wrong.
