1Opinion of the Court
Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge ROGERS.
ROGERS, Circuit Judge:
Contending that the district failed to follow the procedures set forth in Kimbro v. Velten, 30 F.3d 1501 (D.C.Cir.1994), Sergeant Billy S. Stokes of the Uniformed Police Branch of the United States Government Printing Office appeals the dismissal of his defamation complaint against seven co-workers. He contends that the district court treated a Westfall certification as dispositive rather than allowing him to conduct discovery on the scope-of-employment issue and holding an evidentiary hearing. We agree and reverse.
