   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2702
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Hot Springs   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Wollman, Circuit 
   Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. In action by parents whose children were 
   removed from their home on allegations of abuse and neglect, the district 
   court denied the motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity 
   filed by defendant Finnegan, a civilian investigator for the Crimes 
   Against Children Division of the Arkansas State Police, and she appeals. 
   Held, the facts pleaded in the complaint plausibly alleged Finnegan lacked 
   reasonable suspicion of child abuse when she participated in removing 
   plaintiffs' minor children from the home and custody of their parents; 
   further, it was clearly established at the time Finnegan acted that 
   reasonable suspicion was required to remove the children.
