Fort Wayne Community Schools and Jacalyn Butler v. Steffanie Haney, for next friend and minor daughter, M.H.
02A03-1708-CT-1829
Civil tort. Reverses the partial denial of Fort Wayne Community Schools and Jacalyn Butler’s motion for summary judgment on Steffanie Haney’s complaint alleging battery against her daughter M.H. and a violation of M.H.’s Fourth Amendment rights. Finds Fort Wayne Community Schools was entitled to summary judgment on the state law battery tort claim because as a matter of law, Butler’s alleged conduct falls within the scope of her statutory qualified immunity as a teacher managing a classroom. Also finds Haney failed to show Butler’s conduct could have violated a clearly established right. Remands.
