Albert Jack FLETCHER, Appellant, v. Cato HIGHTOWER et al., Appellees.

PER CURIAM:

Since the order dismissing the complaint for failure to state a claim was entered essentially on the basis of facts set forth in the answer which made the dismissal premature, we vacate that order. But in so doing we express no opinion as to the merits of the claim, nor do we even intimate whether it will survive summary judgment or warrant a partial or full blown trial. See Tyler v. Peel Corp., 5 Cir., 1967, 371 F.2d 788, 791-92; Chagas v. Berry, 5 Cir., 1966, 369 F.2d 637, 642; Garrett v. American Airlines, Inc., 5 Cir., 1964, 332 F.2d 939, 944, 3 A.L.R.3d 930; River Brand Rice Mills Inc. v. General Foods Corp., 5 Cir., 1964, 334 F.2d 770, 773; Duke v. Sun Oil Co., 5 Cir., 1963, 320 F.2d 853, 866; Smoot v. State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co., 5 Cir., 1962, 299 F.2d 525, 534; Camilla Cotton Oil Co. v. Spencer Kellogg Sons, 5 Cir., 1958, 257 F.2d 162, 167; Carss v. Outboard Marine Corp., 5 Cir., 1958, 252 F.2d 690, 691; Millet v. Godchaux Sugars, 5 Cir., 1957, 241 F.2d 264, 267; Gulf Oil Corp. v.
