Teacher:In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: officers say that Mr. Jones ignored their commands and refused to step back, id. at 17, even though Jones has denied this. Indeed, the officers expressly decline to concede Mr. Jones' version of the facts, instead "requesting] that this Court review the record and determine the appropriate facts." Id. at 4 n. 1. In their reply brief, it is true, the officers argue that "even relying on Jones['] statement of events, probable cause still exists to support his arrest." Reply Br. at 5. They.drop all references to Mr. Jones' physical obstruction of the officers and argue that "verbal actions" alone can rise to the level of obstructing police business. Id. at 8-10. But this effort to preserve the officers' appeal comes too late. Cf. United States v. Campbell, 279 F.3d 392, 401 (6th Cir.2002) (<HOLDING>). And significant factual issues would remain
