1Opinion of the Court
CAMPBELL, Senior Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff-appellants appeal from the dismissal of their civil rights complaint against two unnamed officers of the Police Department of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and their supervisors. We hold that the district court erred in allowing defendant-appellees’ motion for summary judgment before discovery was reasonably complete, as well as in denying plaintiffs’ motion to amend the complaint to add the name of a newly identified officer. We remand for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
