Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court granted two writs of mandamus: it held that the University of South Alabama is absolutely immune from suit under § 14 of the Alabama Constitution and must be dismissed from the plaintiff’s action, and it held that Amber Bartlett’s mental‑health records are protected by the psychotherapist‑patient privilege, requiring the subpoena to be quashed. The Court also found Bartlett’s petition timely.
