ORDER

2
On May 4, 1988, the remaining defendants in this case, the City of Cleveland and a number of police officers, filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6), or in the alternative for summary judgment due to the absence of a material issue of fact or qualified immunity of the police officers.   On April 8, 1991, the district court denied the motion without opinion.


3
The police officers appeal the denial of their qualified immunity claim.   See Long v. Norris, 929 F.2d 1111, 1113-14 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 112 S.Ct. 187 (1991) (denial of summary judgment on qualified immunity is immediately appealable).   We have examined the record and briefs and are of the opinion that it would be imprudent to review the district court's ruling without the benefit of its reasoning.   Therefore, we vacate the district court's order of April 8, 1991 and remand for further consideration and the issuance of an opinion.
