Gradual TAYLOR, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Cheryl HART, Defendant-Appellant, City of Cincinnati Police, Defendant.
    No. 04-3419.
    United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
    July 19, 2005.
    Before MOORE and COOK, Circuit Judges; GWIN, District Judge.
    
      
       The Honorable James S. Gwin, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Ohio, sitting by designation.
    
   PER CURIAM.

Finding that Gradual Taylor, proceeding pro se, sufficiently alleged facts — arrest and prosecution without probable cause based on the purposeful and malicious filing of a false police report — that, when viewed in a light most favorable to him, make out a Fourth Amendment violation by Officer Hart and obviate her entitlement to qualified immunity (regardless of the fine contours of such a claim in this circuit at the time of the maliciously false report), we affirm the judgment of the district court and remand for further proceedings.
