U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-2120
District of Nebraska - Lincoln
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Chief Judge Loken and
Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil Rights - immunity. District court's denial of qualified immunity to
state attorney general in action challenging the constitutionality of the
Nebraska Uniform Licensing Law is reversed. Issuance of letter of
concern to physician did not impair his license and physician is not
entitled to due process protection for damage to his reputation alone.
Thus, physician did not allege and constitutional violation. Attorney
general would be entitled to qualified immunity in any event because
right was not clearly established.
