1Opinion of the Court
POSNER, Circuit Judge.
Henry Kijonka brought suit for damages under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, claiming to have been arrested without probable cause and thus in violation of his Fourth Amendment rights. The defendants are the arresting officer — a policeman in Lawrenceville, Illinois named Michael Seitzinger — and the county prosecutor, Todd Rietz. The district judge granted summary judgment for the defendants on the ground of qualified immunity and relinquished jurisdiction over the plaintiffs supplemental state-law claims, some of which had named Law-renceville as an additional defendant.
