KAUFMAN, Senior District Judge,
dissenting:
I would affirm the refusal of the district judge to grant summary judgment for the reasons stated by him in his Memorandum Opinion filed July 12, 1990. Whether ex*41cessive force and/or unreasonable continuance of detention occurred — and if so, which of the defendants, if any, violated plaintiffs’ rights — present factual issues which, in my view, at least entitle plaintiffs to conduct discovery. Excessive force and/or unreasonable continuance of detention can violate constitutional rights of persons subjected to the same. See Johnson v. Morel, 876 F.2d 477 (5th Cir.1989); Wilkins v. May, 872 F.2d 190 (7th Cir.1989). Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.
