1Opinion of the Court

SEYMOUR, Circuit Judge.

Craig Mismash was allegedly arrested and severely beaten without cause by Scott Robinson and Gary Reid, detectives on the Murray City Police Force. Asserting that this conduct denied him due process,- Mismash brought this action under 42 U.S.C. *1367§ 1983 (1976) against Robinson, Reid, Murray City, and several unnamed police and city officials who may have authorized the acts complained of. The district court concluded that the suit was barred by the applicable statute of limitations and granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment. We reverse.
