After careful review of the record, briefs, and arguments, we affirm for substantially the reasons set forth in the district court’s opinion. Carey v. City of Fall River, 708 F.Supp. 431 (D.Mass. 1988). We note in particular our agreement with the district court that “It cannot be said that when defendants in this case sought out the criminal complaint against Paul Carey they ‘clearly’ did not have probable cause.” 708 F.Supp. at 435 n. 1. Because there was no clear lack of probable cause, defendants cannot be held liable for violating plaintiff’s substantive due process rights on a malicious prosecution theory. Floyd v. Farrell, 765 F.2d 1, 5 (1st Cir. 1985).

AFFIRMED.
