Benjamin Anthony HARRIS, Appellant, v. Richard JONES, John LePorte, Richard Broich, and City of Des Moines, Appellees.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas Mann, Jr. of Mann & Mann, Des Moines, for appellant.

Patrick J. Hopkins of Austin, Gaudineer, Austin, Salmons & Swanson, Des Moines, for appellees.

Considered by HARRIS, P.J., and LARSON, SCHULTZ, NEUMAN and ANDREASEN, JJ.


ANDREASEN, Justice.

This civil action against three police officers and the City of Des Moines arose out of a search and seizure and the subsequent suppression of a handgun in a criminal proceeding. Both parties seek further review of the court of appeals decision which affirmed the district court in part, reversed it in part and remanded the case for new trial. We vacate the court of appeals decision and affirm the district court.
