1Opinion of the Court
MANION, Circuit Judge.
David Severino, a volunteer investigator for the Illinois Department of Agriculture, seized three horses owned by Pamela Sie-bert, after having searched a barn owned by Pamela and her husband Robert. After the Sieberts got the horses back, they sued Severino under Section 1983, alleging that he violated their Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures and deprived them of their property — three horses — without due process of law. The district court granted Severino summary judgment. The Sieberts appeal, and we reverse.
