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

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for Dr. Smith, holding that quasi-judicial immunity protected his treatment and reporting activities performed under a conditional-release order. The immunity applied because those activities were integral to the judicial process and within the scope of the court's order, even though Dr. Smith was not individually named in it. The court also vacated the court of appeals' opinion.
