Head Matter:
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.

Opinion:
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.
