SUMMARY ORDER
This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of record from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut and was argued.
ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the judgment of the District Court is hereby affirmed.
Samuel Wilson appeals from Judge Covello's order granting summary judgment on behalf of William Cole. Wilson argues that Cole, a West Haven police officer, falsely arrested him in violation of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 & 1988. The district court found that Cole had qualified immunity and dismissed Wilson's malicious prosecution and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims. We affirm substantially for the reasons stated by the district court. Wilson v. Cole, Civil No. 3:95CV02169 (AVC) (D.Conn. Aug. 2, 1996).
