012574P.pdf   11/26/2002  Robin Hill  v.  Kevin McKinley
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  01-2574
   Southern District of Iowa   
Civil case - civil rights. It was not a violation of plaintiff's privacy rights for male prison guards to require her to disrobe in their presence before she was placed in a padded cell after she became violent; nor was it a violation of her rights to permit male guards to make the transfer to the cell; while the guard's actions in strapping plaintiff spread-eagle to a restrainer board for three and one-half hours while she was naked was a violation of her constitutional right to privacy, the guards were still entitled to qualified immunity on this claim as her right to be free from such an invasion was not clearly established, and the district court erred in denying defendant's motion for qualified immunity; award of attorneys' fees reversed; there was sufficient evidence to support plaintiff's state law claim for invasion of privacy; given the evidence, a reasonable juror could have believed that plaintiff's physical injuries were caused by the restraints imposed while defendants were violating plaintiff's privacy rights and the damage award for violation of her privacy rights is affirmed; dissent by Chief Judge Hansen.
