1991Secondly, while it is true, as the defendants assert, that “an action for malicious prosecution may support liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983”; see Conway v. Mount Kisco, 750 F.2d 205 , 214 (2d Cir. 1984); so that a federal court could reject the § 1983 claim if it concluded that the underlying state law claim had not been pleaded adequately under state law, the federal district court reached no such conclusion when it rejected DeLaurentis’ § 1983 claims.
