U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-1680
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye, Circuit Judge, and Schiltz, District
Judge]
Civil case - Civil rights. The district court erred in denying defendants'
motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity on plaintiff's
claim for damages regarding the denial of partial dentures; the evidence
showed plaintiff, a civilly-committed patient, had received regular dental
exams which did not show a partial denture was medically necessary, was
able to eat, had gained weight, was not in pain and had rejected
alternative diets. Judge Bye, dissenting.
