PER CURIAM.

     Danny Newsome appeals from the district court’s1 denial of qualified
immunity to him in Ozell Lyons’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.       Lyons alleged

      The Honorable Susan Webber Wright, United States District
Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
Arkansas, police department, violated his Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment
rights by stopping and arresting him without probable cause.        Having
reviewed the parties’ submissions on appeal, we conclude that the district
court did not err in denying qualified immunity on the facts of this case.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment entered on the verdict.   See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
