   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-1126
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Erickson, 
   Circuit Judge] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. At the time of the police shooting in question, 
   it was not clearly established that a police officer was forbidden to 
   discharge his firearm when suddenly confronted in close quarters by a 
   noncompliant suspect armed with a knife, and the district court did not 
   err in granting the police officer's motion for summary judgment based on 
   qualified immunity. Judge Erickson, concurring in the judgment.
