U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-1672
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith and Bowman, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - qualified immunity. District court erred in denying
qualified immunity to police officer on substantive due process claim
because no fundamental right protected by the Due Process Clause was
affected: no allegation of physical injury was made, temporary slowdown
of childcare business did not rise to level of deprivation of right to engage
in one's chose occupation, actions did not affect family relationship, and
actions did not place plaintiff in position of substantial danger.
