U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-1324
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - St. Joseph
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Colloton and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. On plaintiff's claim that defendants breached a
lease agreement and denied his budget request for part-time help in
retaliation for his complaints that the Commission violated his civil
rights by passing an ordinance requiring every county resident to have a
permanent 911 address and by assigning him an address he did not desire,
defendants were entitled to legislative immunity; the district court
properly found that the County Commissioners were entitled to qualified
immunity as to their request that the state attorney general review the
legality of the lease agreement. Judge Melloy, concurring.
