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 precedent authorizing those claims had been overruled. It reversed dismissal of the defendants’ motion as to intentional infliction of emotional distress and trespass, concluding those claims failed as a matter of law, but affirmed refusal to dismiss the assault claim because White adequately pleaded the claim and justification was an affirmative defense. The case was remanded for further proceedings.
