171377P.pdf 06/28/2018 Jennie Loeffler v. City of Duluth
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 17-1377
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Murphy and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Driver's Privacy Protection Act. This opinion is filed by
Judge Gruender and Judge Kelly pursuant to the provisions of 8th Cir. R.
47E as a result of Judge Murphy's death. The district court did not err in
dismissing plaintiff's claims against defendant Kopp as untimely under the
statute; plaintiff's amended complaint did not relate back under this
court's holding in Heglund v. Aitkin Cty., 871 F.3d 572 (8th Cir. 2017),
cert. denied, 138 S.Ct. 749 (2018); plaintiff failed to state a claim for
direct municipal liability against the City of Duluth because she failed
to plead sufficient facts supporting an inference that the City knowingly
allowed Kopp to access the database for any reason other than her official
duties; plaintiff failed to preserve any claim for vicarious liability
against the City, and the court would not consider the claim for the first
time on appeal.
