   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-3264
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Rapid City   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy and Gruender, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. In suit alleging municipal liability premised on the decision of a final policymaker, the district court failed to identify the final policymaker as a matter of state law and local city ordinances as required by Supreme Court case law, and the matter is remanded to the district court for a new trial; no legally sufficient evidentiary basis exists to impose liability on a municipality for the decisions of a final policymaker when the district court fails to identify the policymaker as a matter of law before the claims reach the jury.
