Before MURPHY, BENTON and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.

Alana Lynn Crutcher-Sanchez, then known as Alana Lynn Smith, sued her former employer, Dakota County, Nebraska, under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985. She also sued Sheriff James L. Wagner, her supervisor Chief Deputy Rodney G. Herron, and Sergeant Joseph Ramirez. She claims Herron and Wagner created or fostered a sexually hostile work environment, and Herron and Ramirez conspired to deprive her of her civil rights. *fn1 The defendants moved for summary judgment based on qualified immunity, which the district court denied. The defendants appeal. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms the denial of summary judgment to Herron, reverses the denial of summary judgment as to Wagner and Ramirez, and dismisses all other claims.
