Questions presented

  1. Review whether my Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures was violated after I was falsely arrested, falsely imprisoned, without probable cause and deprived 120 days of my liberty without due process of law that my Fourteenth Amendment guarantees; so as to allows my false arrest, false imprisonment, and malicious prosecution claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to be proper based upon the Fourth Amend­ ment, Fourteenth Amendment and Favorable Ter­ mination in the criminal proceeding unsupported by a probable cause. I petitioner followed the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (Rule 8) (a)(2), to state a claim for relief, and my Second Amended Civil Right Complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 was granted by lower court for stating plausible enough claims to meet the general rule for relief upon my supported favora­ ble termination and the Fourth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment claims.

  2. Review whether my favorable termination in the criminal proceeding after I was falsely arrested and imprisoned and deprived 120 days unsupported by a probable cause, allows my Fourth Amend­ ment, and Fourteenth Amendment claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to be proper, and also allow my Second Amended Complaint to be plausible enough to survive a motion to dismiss.
