No. 13-3621.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted: Aug. 15, 2014.
Filed: Aug. 20, 2014.
Thomas J. Ingrassia, Farmington, MO, pro se.
Mary Delworth Morris, Attorney General’s Office, Saint Louis, MO, for Defendant-Appellant.
Before BENTON, BEAM, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Thomas J. Ingrassia sued Keith Schafer and other defendants under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violation of his constitutional right to adequate nutrition while incarcerated. The district court denied defendants qualified immunity. They appeal. See Robbins v. Becker, 715 F.3d 691, 693 (8th Cir.2013) ("[This court has] jurisdiction to hear an interlocutory appeal of the district court's denial of qualified immunity under the collateral order doctrine.").
This court remands the case so that the district court can make findings of fact and conclusions of law sufficient to permit appellate review of defendants' qualified immunity defense. See Wright v. United States, 545 Fed.Appx. 588, 589-90 (8th Cir.2013) (district court must determine which facts are genuinely disputed and view those facts favorable to the nonmovant); Jones v. McNeese, 675 F.3d 1158, 1160 (8th Cir.2012) (remanding to the district court "for a more complete articulation of its analysis of [defendant's] motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity").

The district court's order is vacated, and the case remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
