   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3314
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Colloton and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. In action alleging defendants denied plaintiff 
   his Fourteenth Amendment right to procedural due process when they adopted 
   out and spayed his dog without providing pre-deprivation notice and an 
   opportunity to be heard, the Arkansas Supreme Court has held that 
   affirmative pre-deprivation notice is not constitutionally required when a 
   shelter holds a stray dog for more than five days and then adopts out and 
   spays the dog after the owner fails to file a claim; plaintiff failed to 
   prove that each individual defendant's conduct violated his right to 
   procedural due process; to the extent the district court's order denied 
   summary judgment to the individual defendants acting in their individual 
   capacities, the order is reversed; the matter is remanded with directions 
   to enter judgment dismissing those claims with prejudice. Judge Colloton, 
   concurring in the judgment.
