District of South Dakota
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - civil rights. Grant of summary judgment on the basis of
qualified immunity to social workers who removed child with broken

constitutional right based on their reasonable belief that mother knew of
the abuse or was guilty of neglect; deprivation was not unreasonable.
