   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3093
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - St. Joseph   
   [PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Kobes, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. The Director of the Department of 
   Corrections was entitled to qualified immunity on plaintiff's claim that 
   the Director had been deliberately indifferent to her safety after inmates 
   in this suit alleged claims of sexual assault by a prison guard; even if 
   the court assumes the Director should have done more than delegate 
   investigation of the assault allegations to her subordinates, there is 
   neither controlling authority nor a robust consensus of cases or 
   persuasive authority that she was required to do more; as such, the 
   Director would not have known for certain that leaving the investigation 
   to staff violated plaintiff's constitutional rights, and she was entitled 
   to qualified immunity on the claim.
