Meranda Martin, Successor Special Administratrix of the Estate of Virgil Brown, Jr. v. Dr. Leslie Smith

Summary

The dissent would reverse the circuit court's grant of summary judgment based on quasi-judicial immunity and remand for further proceedings. It reasons that the psychiatrist was providing treatment as McFadden's treating physician, rather than evaluations or recommendations to the court, and therefore was not performing a quasi-judicial function. Justice Hart joined the dissent.
