1Opinion of the Court
BUTZNER, Circuit Judge:
Roy Weathers appeals from the dismissal of his suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Paul Ebert, Commonwealth’s Attorney for Prince William County, Virginia, for failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted. According to Weathers’ amended complaint, Ebert, three local police officers, and other defendants conspired to deprive him of his constitutional rights by having him indicted, arrested, and brought to trial on a charge of which he had previously been acquitted. The district court held that Ebert was immune from suit, and we affirm.
