When a particular constitutional provision provides an explicit textual source of a right, the claimed right must be analyzed under that provision, not under the generalized notion of due process of the Fourteenth Amendment. Sacramento v. Lewis, 523 U.S. 833, 842 (1998); Albright, 510 U.S. at 271-72. In the Seventh Circuit, a false imprisonment claim can only be based upon the Fourth Amendment, not on due process.

And the Court eliminated any fundamental right to any particular grand jury procedure whenit held that there is no due process liberty interest in a probable cause hearing ofanykind beforetrial. (Albright v. Oliver (1994) 510 U.S. 266, 268, 272-275; accord, Gerstein v. Pugh (1975) 420 U.S. 103, 118-119.) So the United States Constitution creates no liberty interest in state grand jury procedures.

The parties both overlook that when courts consider a Rule 12(b)(6) motion, they “must accept the well-pleaded allegations of the complaint as true.” Albright, 510 U.S. at 268.

For purposes of ruling on defendants' motion, this Court must accept Plaintiffs’ factual allegations as true. Albright v. Oliver, 510 U.S. 266, 268 (1994); Hartford Fire Ins. Co. v. California, 509 U.S. 764, 770 (1993); Doe v. United States Dep't of Justice, 753 F.2d 1092, 1102 (D.C. Cir. 1985); Campbell-El v. District of Columbia, 881 F. Supp. 42, 43 (D.D.C. 1995). The Court must draw all reasonable facts and inferences in a light most favorable to plaintiff.

The Supreme Court has declared that “[w]here a particular Amendment ‘provides an explicit textual source of constitutional protection’ against a particular sort of government behavior, ‘that Amendment, not the more generalized notion of ‘substantive due process,’ must be the guide for analyzing [those] claims.’” Albright v. Oliver, 510 U.S. 266, 273 (1994) (quoting Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386, 395 (1989)). In this case, the First Amendment provides an “explicit textual source of constitutional protection” against governmental restriction of protected speech, such that the First Amendment, and “not the more generalized notion of ‘substantive due process’” should be the guide for analyzing what is fundamentally a retaliatory prosecution claim.

In these circumstances, where there is explicit textual protection for the wrong in the form of an altemative claim, such as false arrest, malicious prosecution, or excessive force, Fourteenth Amendment due process does not provide an alternative basis for a claim. See, e.g., Lewis, 523 U.S. at 848 (due process clause does not amount to a catch-all provision that provides a remedy whenever a state actor causes harm); Albrieht v. Oliver, 510 U.S. 266,273 (1994) (generalized notion of substantive due process does not provide a remedy where there is an explicit source of constitutional protection). The Second Circuit considered Albright at length in Sinser v. Fulton County Sheriff,63 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 1995), cert.

However, “[w]here a particular Amendment ‘provides an explicit textual source of constitutional protection’ against a particular sort of government behavior, ‘that Amendment, not the more generalized notion of “substantive due process,” must be the guide for analyzing’ these claims.” Albright v. Oliver, 510 U.S. 266, 273 (1994) (quoting Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386, 395 (1989)); Ramirez v. Butte-Silver Bow Cnty., 298 F.3d 1022, 1029 (9th Cir. 2002). Because Plaintiffs ground their substantive due process claim on privacy interests allegedly protected by the Fourth Amendment, that claim must be dismissed.
