   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3280
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - St. Joseph   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Melloy and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. In action alleging the plaintiff high school 
   students were seized in violation of their constitutional rights when 
   defendants, Northwest Missouri State police officers, instructed the 
   students' high school coach to assemble them in a room for questioning 
   about a "peeping tom" incident that occurred during a summer football 
   camp, the district court denied the officers' motion for summary judgment 
   based on qualified immunity. Held: reasonable officers could have believed 
   that probable cause was not required to to ask the students' coach to 
   seize the students and detain them in a room for questioning and 
   investigation; in light of this court's decisions, the students had no 
   clearly established right to be free from a seizure instigated by the 
   defendants if it passed muster under a standard of reasonableness; 
   further, the officers could reasonably believe that they were authorized 
   to investigate the incident to comply with their obligations under both 
   Title IX and Missouri law regarding invasion of privacy; the seizure was 
   reasonable in scope and duration;the officers were entitled to dismissal 
   of the students' claims under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 5033 and 5038 as the statutes 
   are inapplicable, Judge Kelly, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
