   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-1315
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
[PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Kelly and Wollman, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. In action where the parents of students killed in a car crash alleged that defendant Eichens, a Minnesota state trooper, violated their constitutional rights by conducting a flawed investigation in order to protect the defendant school and that the school and other defendants conspired to obstruct justice in the parents' earlier state court wrongful death case, the district court did not err in finding that collateral estoppel barred the Section 1983 claim against the trooper; assuming plaintiff's Section 1985(2) conspiracy claim survives collateral estoppel, the claim failed on the merits because plaintiff could not show the alleged conspirators were motivated by a class-based invidiously discriminatory animus. Judge Kelly, concurring in part and concurring in the judgment.
