051184P.pdf   12/15/2005  David A. Johnson  v.  University of Iowa
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-1184
   Southern District of Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Lay and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - employment discrimination. Leave granted to biological
   mothers is disability leave and the University did not discriminate against
   biological fathers in applying the policy; there is no fundamental right to
   paid leave from an employer, so the policy granting leave to adoptive
   parents need only survive rational basis review; here, the university
   articulated legitimate reasons for the adoptive parents policy and it was
   entitled to summary judgment on plaintiff's claims.
