Supreme Court of Connecticut
Michael J. Woodruff v. Tasha Hemingway
July 6, 2010297 Conn. 317
Summary
The court affirmed dismissal of the plaintiff's negligence action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because the defendant, a state employee acting within the scope of her employment, was protected by statutory immunity. The court rejected arguments that statutes concerning armed-forces personnel, automobile accidents involving state vehicles, or the federal servicemembers stay provision authorized the action or defeated the immunity. The court adopted the trial court's reasoning without repeating it.
