192961P.pdf 12/23/2020 Lori Braun v. Brian Burke
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-2961
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Colloton and Grasz, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. The state trooper involved in the crash with
plaintiffs' decedent believed he was responding to a public safety
emergency, thereby triggering the requirement that plaintiff must show
intent to harm in order to establish liability; plaintiff did nor argue or
present any evidence that the trooper intended to harm anyone, and the
district court correctly granted summary judgment for the trooper on
plaintiff's substantive due process claim because she failed to establish
a constitutional violation; as a result, plaintiff's
failure-to-train-or-supervise claim against defendant Director Bryant must
also fail. Judge Colloton, concurring. Judge Grasz, concurring.
