1Opinion of the Court
SYKES, Circuit Judge.
After being wrongly arrested and held in custody for two days, Ronald Tibbs sued the City of Chicago and Chicago Police Officer Mark Kooistra under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging violations of his Fourth Amendment rights. This appeal concerns Tibbs’s allegations that Officer Kooistra subjected him to false arrest, false imprisonment, and excessive use of force. The district court concluded no reasonable jury could find Officer Kooistra behaved unreasonably and accordingly granted summary judgment for the defendants on each of these three claims. We affirm.
