Montminy, Maria Garay, and John Maston. Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (Eginton, J.). UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court be AFFIRMED. Plaintiff‐appellant Pedro Cristian Fernandez‐Bravo appeals from a judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut dismissing his Complaint pursuant to a motion under Fed. R. Civ. P. 56. Fernandez‐Bravo argues on appeal that the district court erred in granting the Defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing (1) the Fourth Amendment false arrest and malicious prosecution claims premised on the allegations that defendant Garay intentionally provided false information and omitted other information in her arrest warrant affidavit; (2) the substantive due process claim premised on the same allegations; (3) the First Amendment retaliation claim; and (4) the abuse of process claim. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history, and the issues presented for review. 2 1. Plaintiff first challenges the dismissal of his Fourth Amendment false arrest and malicious prosecution claims, arguing that omissions and misrepresentations in the arrest warrant undermined probable cause for his arrest, and Officer Garay should not be covered by qualified immunity. We review the district court’s grant of summary judgment de novo, drawing all factual inferences in favor of the non‐moving party. Sousa v. Marquez, 702 F.3d 124, 127 (2d ...
