Ex Parte City of Montgomery and Shelton Davis Petition for Writ of Mandamus (in Re: Madilyn Shuford v. City Of…

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama granted a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to enter summary judgment for the City of Montgomery and Officer Shelton Davis, holding that the officer was a peace officer performing law‑enforcement duties and thus entitled to immunity under § 6‑5‑338(a) and that the City was likewise immune under § 6‑5‑338(b). The petition satisfied the mandamus requirements, so the trial court’s denial was reversed.
