Case No. 23-1729

Dr. Allen Diercks and Diane Holst
v.
Scott County, Iowa, and Kerri Tompkins, Scott County Auditor

Plaintiffs appeal the district court’s grant of summary judgment dismissing their petition for equitable declaratory, mandamus and injunctive relief requesting access to public records pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 22 (2023). Plaintiffs contend the district court erred in finding Iowa Code section 22.7(18) protects the confidentiality of the identities and resumes of applicants seeking appointment to fill a vacancy on the county board of supervisors.
