1Opinion of the Court

OWEN, Circuit Judge:

In a prior opinion and order, we certified a question to the Supreme Court of Louisiana pertaining to the bona fide termination prong of the Lemoines’ malicious prosecution claim. 1 In light of the explication of Louisiana law in the Louisiana Supreme Court’s decision, we conclude that the Lemoines raised a genuine issue of material fact as to whether there was a bona fide termination of the cyberstalking charges against Scott Lemoine. We accordingly reverse the summary judgment granted by the district court and remand for further proceedings.
