U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-2252
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Colloton, Circuit
Judge]
Civil case - Civil rights. Under Minnesota law, Abdi is not a wrongful
death trustee, and the district court did not err in concluding he did not
have standing to pursue a Section 1983 claim on behalf of his deceased
son; Minnesota's statutory scheme generally provides the opportunity for a
trustee to pursue a Section 1983 claim, and its provisions cannot be said
to be inconsistent with Section 1983' purposes.
