PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 14-3892 Page: 1 Date Filed: 09/10/2015 Entry ID: 4314964 
DaCosta Daniels appeals the district court’s adverse grant of summary 1

judgment in her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action asserting a Fourth Amendment excessiveforce claim and a state-law assault claim against a police officer. 

After careful de novo review, viewing the evidence and drawing all reasonable

inferencesin favor of Daniels, see Laganiere v. Cty. of Olmsted, 772 F.3d 1114, 1116

(8th Cir. 2014), we conclude that the district court properly granted summary

judgment based on qualified immunity, see Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386, 396-97

(1989); Crumley v. City of St. Paul, 324 F.3d 1003, 1007 (8th Cir. 2003), and

statutory immunity, see Iowa Code § 804.8(1); Johnson v. Civil Serv. Comm’n, 352

N.W.2d 252, 257 (Iowa 1984).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
