would overcome the presumption of probable cause that attaches to the grand jury's indictment. See Bermudez v. City of New York, 790 F.3d 368, 377 (2d Cir. 2015) (explaining that presumption of probable cause from an indictment "can only be overcome by evidence that the indictment was the product of fraud, perjury, the suppression of evidence by the police, or other police conduct undertaken in bad faith" (internal quotation marks omitted)). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's dismissal of the false arrest and malicious prosecution claims.3
