1Opinion of the Court
COFFEY, Circuit Judge.
The plaintiff Lorenzo Fernandez alleges that Chicago Police Officer Gregorio Perez arrested him without probable cause and proceeded to maliciously prosecute him on various weapons charges, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. The plaintiff appeals the district court’s finding that Officer Perez had probable cause to arrest the plaintiff and thus was entitled to qualified immunity and that a malicious prosecution claim cannot be brought under § 1983. We affirm.
