181057P.pdf   03/08/2019  Tamela Muir  v.  Decatur County, Iowa
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-1057
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Loken and Erickson, Circuit Judges] Civil Case - Civil Rights. District court erred in denying qualified immunity to county and sheriff following the termination of former sheriff's wife after former sheriff was removed from office. The termination of the wife did not amount to a constitutional violation of the right to intimate association because the termination did not directly and substantially interfere with their marriage, discourage their marriage, make their marriage practically impossible or act with the goal of poisoning their marriage, and was nothing more than a collateral effect on her marriage. Because there was no unconstitutional act, there was no municipal liability either.
