   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-2104
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Jarvey, District
   Judge]
Civil case - civil rights. See Amrine v. Bowersox, 128F.3d 1222 (8th Cir. 1997) (en banc) for this court's opinion finding Amrine was entitled to habeas relief on the ground that he had established his actual innocence on charges that he murdered a fellow inmate; District court did not err in finding prison investigator and deputy sheriff were entitled qualified immunity on plaintiff's Section 1983 claims in connection with their efforts to investigate the murder; the investigators' actions in detaining Amrine were supported by probable cause; amendment of the complaint to add a claim for reckless investigation would have been futile under this court's precedents, and the district court did not err in denying Amrine's request for leave to file a third amended complaint.
