   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-1119
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Erickson, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. On plaintiffs' claim that the district court 
   erred in dismissing their claim that the two law enforcement officers 
   defendants violated their son's Fourth Amendment rights by arresting him 
   without probable cause, the officers had reason to believe at the time of 
   the son's arrest that he had committed the crime of sexual abuse; as a 
   result, they had probable cause to arrest him and were entitled to summary 
   judgment on the Fourth Amendment claim; with respect to plaintiffs' claim 
   that the officers conducted a reckless criminal investigation prior to the 
   arrest, thereby violating their son's substantive due process rights under 
   the Fourteenth Amendment, nothing in the officers' statements or actions 
   indicate they acted recklessly, and they were entitled to summary judgment 
   on the claim; because the officers had probable cause for the arrest, 
   plaintiffs' state law claims for false arrest and malicious prosecution 
   fail and defendants were entitled to summary judgment on the claims.
