Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Robert B. Hanson, Judge. AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, AND REMANDED FOR FURTHER PROCEEDINGS. Heard by Greer, P.J., and Buller and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Buller, J. (7 pages)
A plaintiff appeals from dismissal of her petition alleging public-records violations against a county and county supervisor. OPINION HOLDS: The dismissal of claims alleging violations of the county’s policy was unchallenged for purposes of this litigation and we affirm their dismissal. But the district court’s ruling does not explain why it dismissed the alleged statutory violations and we decline to decide that question in the first instance on appeal. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for further proceedings.
