   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-1231
   Western District of Arkansas   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. Defendant were entitled to qualified immunity
   on claim they violated plaintiff's civil rights by constructing a drainage
   ditch to flood her property, as there was no evidence in the record from
   which a jury could find defendants' actions constituted purposeful race
   discrimination; defendants were not entitled to qualified immunity on
   plaintiff's claim that their failure to maintain the ditch was racially
   motivated, as they failed to counter the reasonable inference that their
   inaction was racially motivated; however, the claim must be limited to
   the persons actually responsible for the failure to maintain the ditch, and
   neither the chief inspector nor the mayor had any liability for the inaction;
   claim that city officials harassed plaintiff's sister in retaliation for
   plaintiff's complaints was not supported by the record, and defendants
   were entitled to qualified immunity on that claim.
