FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:
James F. Robinson brought suit against Solano County and Officers Brian Cau-wells and Gary Faulkner alleging false arrest, false imprisonment, and the use of excessive force in arresting him. Robinson appeals from the district court’s pretrial grant of summary judgment for the defendants-appellees on the state law claims and the magistrate judge’s post-trial grant of judgment as a matter of law on the federal excessive force claim. We reverse and remand for a new trial.
