United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided January 11, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert S. Wilson, Sycamore, IL (argued), for plaintiffs-appellants.

Nancy G. Lischer (argued), Hinshaw & Culbertson, Chicago, IL, Thomas H. Riley, Jr., David J. Kurlinkus, Clayton L. Lindsey, Hinshaw & Culbertson, Ruth E. Robinson, Querrey & Harrow, Limited, Rockford, IL, for defendant-appellee.

Before EASTERBROOK, MANION, and ROVNER, Circuit Judges.

ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge.

Shawn Jones maintains that Charles Webb, the Ashton, Illinois police chief, violated his civil rights when Webb allegedly arrested Jones without probable cause and applied excessive force during that arrest. The district court granted Webb's motion for summary judgment, finding that he had probable cause to make the arrest and that Webb was qualifiedly immune from the excessive force claim. We affirm.
