141792P.pdf 02/20/2015 Tamara Villanueva v. City of Scottsbluff
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-1792
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Lincoln
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Beam and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff failed to show that the City's police
department's alleged failure to respond to domestic violence was motivated
by an intent to discriminate against women, and the district court did not
err in granting the City's motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's
claim that the City violated the Equal Protection Clause by maintaining a
policy of not responding to women's complaints of domestic violence; nor
did plaintiff establish that the City's failure to respond violated her
due process rights under the "state-created-danger theory;" the police
chief's actions in pursuing a relationship with plaintiff were not so
egregious or outrageous that they rose to the level of a violation of
plaintiff's due process right to bodily integrity.
