Case No. 24-0189

Michael Chandler, Eddie Jones, and Chad Maddison, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated
v.
Iowa Department of Corrections

Peace Officers Michael Chandler, Eddie Jones, and Chad Maddison, on behalf of themselves and all similarly situated employees, appeal the district court’s order granting the Iowa Department of Corrections’ pre-answer motion to dismiss. They argue Iowa Code chapter 80F.1 creates a private right of action, and the court of appeals’ decision in Dautovic v. Bradshaw was abrogated by statute.
