United States Seventh Circuit

Summary judgment in favor of defendants in an action against the City of Chicago and two police officers is affirmed where the suit did not meet the statute of limitations requirements since a 42 U.S.C. 1983 unlawful arrest claim accrues at the time of arrest, and where the defendant's other constitutional claims failed as a matter of law.
