021915P.pdf   04/23/2003  Linda Johnson  v.  Aaron Crooks
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-1915
   District of Nebraska   
   Civil case - civil rights. District court's order denying defendant 
   deputy sheriff's motion for summary judgment based on 
   qualified immunity reversed; after plaintiff crossed the center 
   line on several occasions it was objectively reasonable for the 
   deputy sheriff to stop plaintiff's vehicle in order to determine 
   whether she was competent to continue her travels; in such 
   circumstances there is no violation of plaintiff's Fourth 
   Amendment rights as a matter of law, and defendant was 
   entitled to qualified immunity on plaintiff's Fourth 
   Amendment claims; plaintiff failed to produce any 
   evidence that the stop was racially-motivated and a 
   violation of plaintiff's Equal Protection Clause rights; 
   plaintiff also failed to show the defendant's conduct was 
   a violation of her due process rights. Dissent by Judge Lay.
