                      ON PETITION FOR REHEARING

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and DAVIS and GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

          IT IS ORDERED that the petition for rehearing is granted

in part as follows:

          The portion of the panel opinion discussing appellants’

state law claims for false arrest and imprisonment is withdrawn,

and these claims will be remanded to the district court for

consideration in the first instance.
            The second sentence of the opinion is amended to conform

with this disposition.

            The concluding paragraph of the opinion is also amended

to state:

            For   these   reasons,   we   REVERSE   the   district   court’s

summary judgment for Detectives Staton and Brumley on the Malley

claim and on the state law false arrest and imprisonment claims,

AFFIRM for Sheriff Pattison and REMAND for further proceedings. We

express no opinion on whether, at trial, Spencer or the detectives

will prevail in their respective contentions.

            REVERSED IN PART; AFFIRMED IN PART; AND REMANDED.
