OPINION
BELL, District Judge.
Plaintiff Jerry T. Coble (“Coble”) appeals the district court’s entry of summary judgment in favor of Officer Curtis Carney, Jr. on Coble’s claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 that Officer Carney used excessive force against him during his arrest for drunk driving. 1 The issue on appeal is whether the district court erred in finding that there was no question of fact for trial because Coble’s testimony regarding the force used was contradicted by a contemporaneous audio recording. For the reasons that follow, we REVERSE the district court’s judgment.
