BAUER, Circuit Judge.
Jeffrey Reed appeals the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against the City of Chicago and various Chicago Police officers (“detectives”). Reed sued the City and the detectives for his allegedly unlawful confinement for approximately 23 months prior to his acquittal of first degree murder. His four count-complaint proposed a variety of legal theories supporting liability. The district court rejected all of them and dismissed the complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). We affirm.
