U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 21-1450
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Kelly and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. In a police shooting case, the district court
did not err in denying the defendant officer's motion for summary judgment
based on qualified immunity, as there were two genuine issues of material
facts - whether the office saw the victim drop the gun when ordered to and
whether the officer was unreasonable in believing the victim was taking a
firing position rather than surrendering when the office shot him.
