## Opinion text

STAHL, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I concur simply to state that I do not read this opinion as holding that a plaintiff is never entitled to summary judgment on the question of liability in a § 1983 action. Indeed, I believe that if plaintiff were to make a timely motion for partial summary judgment on the question of liability, and if defendants were to produce no further probative evidence supporting their entitlement to qualified immunity, then, on this record, plaintiff would be entitled to have his motion granted.
