U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-3234
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Grasz and Stras, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff, suing on behalf of her son, alleged
defendant, a City of Cedar Rapids policeman, used excessive force by not
giving the boy a warning while searching with a canine trained to bite and
hold; the district court denied defendant's motion for summary judgment
based on qualified immunity, and defendant appeals. The district court's
order is affirmed as there was a genuine issue of fact as to the adequacy
of the warnings and the law was clearly established that the defendant had
to give a warning and provide the suspect with a chance to surrender.
Judge Grasz, dissenting.
