   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-1552
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Central   
[PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Grasz and Stras, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. Under Iowa law, the plaintiff did not interfere with the defendants' attempts to perform their official duties; the officers did not have a warrant, and they had no right to lawfully enter plaintiff's home without consent nor force her to take any specific action with respect to her minor daughter; plaintiff's refusal to cooperate with the officers' attempts to conduct a welfare check on the girl was not resistance or obstruction in violation of the Iowa statute; as such, the officers did not have probable cause to arrest plaintiff for interference with official acts; her arrest violated her clearly established Fourth Amendment rights, and the officers were not entitled to qualified immunity.
