U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 21-3504
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Central
[PUBLISHED] Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Stras, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. The district court did not err in denying the
defendant's motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity in
this case involving the pepper spraying of plaintiff while she was live
streaming a demonstration which occurred in the aftermath of George
Floyd's death; plaintiff's right to be free from retaliatory force was
clearly established at the time of the incident.
