FLAUM, Circuit Judge.

Plaintiff Terence Brooks sued defendant police officers Davey, Savickas, and Stegmiller, as individuals, and their employer, the City of Chicago. He alleged false arrest under 42 U.S.C. § 1983; malicious prosecution under state law; false imprisonment under state law; and due process violations under § 1983.
