1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
In this case, the district court entered summary judgment in favor of defendant-appellee John Hainey, a state trooper, on a false arrest claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff-appellant John E. Cox III assigns error to the court’s determination that qualified immunity shielded Hainey from suit. After careful perscrutation of an oddly configured factual record (including consideration of how, if at all, an officer’s pre-arrest consultation with a prosecutor affects the qualified immunity calculus), we affirm the district court’s order.
