   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-2825
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Bye and Shepherd, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil case - torts. District court did not err in dismissing defendant's
   abuse-of-process counterclaim as the counterclaim alleged that plaintiff
   had filed suit for the purpose of coercing a settlement and filing a suit
   with such a motive does not give rise to a cause of action for abuse of
   process under Iowa law.
