1Opinion of the Court
BAUER, Chief Judge.
Ronald S. Biddle brought this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, claiming he was unlawfully arrested and maliciously prosecuted by the defendants, two Normal, Illinois police officers. The district court found that the police had probable cause to arrest Biddle. Accordingly, it found that the officers are entitled to qualified immunity for their actions, and granted their motion for summary judgment on the unlawful arrest claim. The court also determined that the malicious prosecution claim is barred by the finding of probable cause. Biddle appeals. We affirm.
