Senior judge assigned by order pursuant to Iowa Code section 602.9206 (2009).
Deanna Miller appeals from the district court order granting summary judgment in favor of Robert Speirs on her claims of invasion of privacy and sexual harassment. She contends the court erred in concluding the facts did not establish an intrusion upon the seclusion of another sufficient to support her claim of invasion of privacy. This same issue was addressed in a companion case decided today, Koeppel v. Speirs, No. 08-1927 (Iowa Ct. App. Jan.22, 2010). Based on the reasoning contained in Koeppel, we reverse the district court order granting summary judgment in favor of Speirs on Miller's invasion-of-privacy claim and remand for further proceedings.
