Text: 35 If we were to apply Frantz to this case, we would have to dismiss Darrah's malicious prosecution claim because she has no separate §§ 1983 action for malicious prosecution under the Fourth Amendment. Frantz, 245 F.3d at 875-76 & n. 2. If Frantz were binding, it appears that, at most, a plaintiff could recover additional damages as part of her overall Fourth Amendment claim if, following an arrest without probable cause in violation of the Fourth Amendment, a prosecution follows. Id. at 876. No additional damages would be available to Darrah based on her prosecution for obstructing a police officer, however, for we earlier affirmed the district court's decision that no reasonable jury could find in Darrah's favor on her underlying excessive force claim. In accordance with Frantz, we would have to dismiss Darrah's federal malicious prosecution claim.
