   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-2819
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Murphy and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Insurance. In a dispute over whether the insured had taken 
   adequate steps to change the beneficiary of his life insurance policy, the 
   district court did not err in finding that the insured had not filed a 
   written request with the insurer to change the beneficiary and that a 
   handwritten note found near his body at the time of his death was, under 
   Iowa law, an expression of unexecuted intent to make a change insufficient 
   to comply with the notice requirements of the policy; defendant was not 
   entitled to a constructive trust over the policy proceeds as she failed to 
   show that plaintiff obtained her beneficiary status through any 
   wrongdoing; defendant had adequate notice the district court would treat 
   plaintiff's motion to dismiss as a motion for summary judgment.
