Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Samantha Gronewald, Judge. APPEAL DISMISSED. Heard by Tabor, P.J., Buller, J., and Potterfield, S.J.* Opinion by Buller, J. (7 pages)
A former trooper with the Iowa State Patrol appeals from a district court order dismissing his petition for writ of mandamus. The petition sought, among other things, to compel the Iowa Department of Public Safety and the Peace Officers’ Retirement, Accident, and Disability System to provide him temporary incapacitation benefits under Iowa Code section 80.6(4) (2021). OPINION HOLDS: We dismiss the appeal as moot in light of subsequent developments, including the approval of the former trooper’s accidental-disability retirement and the recredit and payment of sick leave.
