101639P.pdf   04/08/2011  Crystal Coates  v.  Derrick Powell
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-1639
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bright, Author, with Gruender and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - civil rights. Private settlement agreement in which the
   district court took no action judicially sanctioning or materially altering
   the legal relationship of the parties did not make appellant prevailing
   party entitled to attorneys fees. Grant of qualified immunity to officer
   who remained in the house 10-15 minutes after being told to leave was
   proper, as officer was assisting child services investigator and it was not
   clearly established that the officer was required to leave in the middle of a
   child neglect investigation. Judge Shepherd dissents from the grant of
   qualified immunity.
