1Opinion of the Court
EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge:
Deputy Constable John Glossip arrested Jay Brown for reasons not explained in the record before us. Mr. Brown sued Glossip to redress the allegedly unconstitutional use of excessive force. The only issue before us is whether we should uphold Glossip’s qualified immunity defense based on the insufficiency of Brown’s pleadings to controvert the possibility that Glossip may be entitled to immunity.
