Geri L. White v. Michael Harkrider, City of Iowa City, Chris Wisman, and Johnson County

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of White’s state constitutional tort claims because the previously recognized direct constitutional tort cause of action was no longer available. It reversed the refusal to dismiss her intentional-infliction-of-emotional-distress and trespass claims, holding those claims legally deficient on the pleaded facts, but affirmed allowing her assault claim to proceed because justification was an affirmative defense not resolvable on the pleadings.
