2026“A cognizable claim of a Fourteenth Amendment substantive due process violation must describe governmental conduct so egregious that it ‘shocks the conscience.’” Mumm v. Mornson, 708 N.W.2d 475, 487 (Minn. 2006) (citing Rochin v. California, 342 U.S. 165, 172-74 (1952)). 5 Breitkreutz makes no argument, and our review of the record reveals no evidence, of egregious conduct or arbitrary decision-making by the county.

2009A cognizable claim under this standard must describe “egregious” governmental conduct, and we have said that “[o]nly the most extreme instances of governmental misconduct satisfy this exacting standard.” Mumm v. Mornson, 708 N.W.2d 475, 487, 490 (Minn.2006) (holding that an officer’s use of deadly force to stop a dangerous car chase did not shock the conscience because “[a]n officer’s poor judgment in using unreasonable force does not automatically convert the officer’s acts into conscience shocking conduct”).
