Brenton First Natl. U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 00-1634 Southern District of Iowa
Civil case - Section 1983. Shareholder or officer of a corporation may not sue defendants for damages from an unlawful replevin as the legal injury is suffered by the corporation; Iowa replevin statute is neither unconstitutional facially or as applied; police officers were not entitled to qualified immunity on claim they violated plaintiff's rights by seizing real, rather than personal, property; plaintiff raised genuine issues of material fact concerning its damages, and the court erred in granting defendant officers' motion for summary judgment; plaintiff also raised genuine issues of material fact as to whether private parties acted together with state officials, and private parties were not entitled to summary judgment; dissent by Judge James Loken.
