2015Co., 422 N.W.2d 530, 533 (Minn. App. 1988) (“Supreme Court decisions establish that the nature of the cause of action is separately determined to decide if it constitutes an insured occurrence, independent of the way the claim is characterized in the underlying lawsuit.”); Ross v. City of Minneapolis, 408 N.W.2d 910, 912-13 (Minn.

2013Although we did not disagree with the Supreme Court’s balancing test in Sitz , we took issue with the Court’s “ ‘radical’ departure from the way the test has been and should be applied, with the result that for Fourth Amendment purposes police, in effect, are allowed to decide the reasonableness of their own conduct.” Ascher, 519 N.W.2d at 186 (footnote omitted).

2013We also questioned the Court’s apparent conclusion that “as long as stops are not discriminatory — that is, as long as everyone is stopped — stops need not be based on individualized suspicion.” Id.

2001In an appeal from a denial of a motion for a directed verdict, this court is to review “whether the evidence and its inferences could have reasonably sustained a contrary verdict.” Woodrow v. Tobler, 269 N.W.2d 910, 917 (Minn.1978).

1995See id. (school district); Dietz v. Dodge County, 487 N.W.2d 237 , 239 n. 3 (Minn.1992) (“[ejertiorari lies to review the quasi-judicial decisions of a broad array of executive bodies.”) But see Stadum v.

1985As we noted in State v. Hanson, 366 N.W.2d 377, 379 (Minn.Ct.App.1985), and the supreme court noted in State v.
