United States Seventh Circuit

In plaintiff's 42 U.S.C. section 1983 suit claiming defendants violated his rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments by summoning him to court and initiating juvenile proceedings without probable cause, district court's dismissal of the case for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted is affirmed as a plaintiff cannot initiate a section 1983 claim asserting only that he was summoned and prosecuted without probable cause.
