Before Torruella, Lipez, and Howard, Circuit Judges.

Plaintiff-Appellant Wilfredo Mart¡nez-Rodr¡guez appeals the district court’s entry of summary judgment dismissing, on qualified immunity grounds, his claim that several Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) agents violated his Fourth Amendment right to be free from arrest and prosecution without probable cause. Mart¡nez-Rodr¡guez claims that several DEA agents provided false and misleading statements to the grand jury and throughout his criminal prosecution with knowledge of their falsity or in reckless disregard for the truth in order to manufacture probable cause against him. After a careful review of the record, we find that Mart¡nez-Rodr¡guez has not made a showing that defendants intentionally or recklessly provided false or misleading statements to support his indictment and arrest on drug-related charges. We therefore affirm the district court’s judgment.
