Read the filings, not just the headlines

These pages document two lawsuits in Polk County District Court involving Katie Byrd. Each case has its own filings, requests for relief and procedural history. Both plaintiffs are represented in the reviewed petitions by Munro Law Office, P.C., with Kenneth R. Munro signing the pleadings. The existence of common counsel does not establish coordination between plaintiffs.

About this archive. A petition, affidavit, or response sets out one party’s assertions; it does not by itself establish that an allegation is true. A court order has legal effect, but its contents must be read separately from the parties’ claims.

Record cutoff: The chronology reflects the docket snapshots supplied through October 16, 2026. It is not a live docket or a claim that no newer filing exists.

Publication principles

A record with boundaries

Filing dates and docket events come from court documents and supplied public docket listings. PDF descriptions summarize what the document says, not what the court has proven. We track both dockets and add court-filed documents after review; entries without an available document are identified as docket-only.
