1Opinion of the Court
LEVIN H. CAMPBELL, Chief Judge.
This is an interlocutory appeal from the district court’s denial of defendants’ motions for summary judgment on grounds of qualified immunity. Defendants are state and local police officers who claim immunity from damages in this prison inmate’s action against them brought under 42 U.S. C. § 1983 (1982). Notwithstanding the limits upon our appellate jurisdiction in an appeal of this nature, we hold that we may address the issues raised by defendants, and we affirm in part and reverse in part.
