Supreme Court of Iowa

Francis Livingood, Christoper Maury, and Daniel Robbins v. City of Des Moines, Iowa

June 9, 2023

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the statute-of-limitations, takings, and procedural-due-process claims. It held that the city unlawfully used the income-offset program to collect automated-traffic penalties that had not been reduced to municipal-infraction judgments, but that only part of the city's offset ordinance was preempted. The court reversed dismissal of Livingood's request for declaratory and injunctive relief and of Maury and Robbins's unjust-enrichment claims, remanding for further proceedings. No separate opinions are included in the record provided.
