   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3293
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bowman, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil Case - civil rights. Summary judgment to law enforcement officials
   in civil rights action claiming Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment
   violations is affirmed. Negligent failure to conduct adequate
   investigation is not a violation of due process. District court did not err 
   in determining investigator was entitled to qualified immunity, as actions or
   inactions did not rise to level of recklessness that shocks the conscience. 
   County sheriff was also properly granted qualified immunity on failure to
   train or supervise claim and supervisor cannot be held individually liable
   where no underlying constitutional violation. Official capacity claims
   failed because the individual liability claims failed. Officer who sought
   search warrant and arrest warrant could have reasonably believed
   probable cause existed to support warrants. Plaintiff failed to allege
   sufficient facts to support conclusion that investigation into ownership
   interests was reckless and thus releasing boat was not violation of due
   process. Police chief cannot be held liable under supervisory liability
   theory. Claims against City also fail.
