1Opinion of the Court
HUG, Circuit Judge.
Michael McConkie appeals the District Court’s decision to grant summary judgment to Maine State Police Detective Scott Nichols. In his First Amended Complaint, McConkie alleged that he was entitled to relief under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1988 because Nichols violated his constitutional right to substantive due process in the course of questioning him about suspected sexual abuse of a ten-year-old child. The District Court granted Nichols summary judgment on the ground that no reasonable factfinder could find that Nichols’s conduct was conscience-shocking. We affirm.
