   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-1933
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Murphy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. District court did not err in denying defendants'
   motions for summary judgment based on qualified immunity on plaintiff
   Small's claims arising out of his arrest as the defendant police officer
   could not reasonably belief that he had probable cause to arrest Small or
   that the force he used was objectively reasonable; nor were the defendant
   deputies entitled to summary judgment based on qualified immunity for
   the arrest of the remaining"warrant plaintiffs;" deputies were not entitled
   to qualified immunity on plaintiffs' claim of retaliatory inducement to
   prosecution; viewing the facts most favorably to plaintiffs, the deputies
   arrested the warrant plaintiffs without probable cause in retaliation for
   protected speech, conspired to fabricate reports and took overt steps to
   further the conspiracy; defendants' appeal of the court's order on state
   law claims is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
