Sena v. American Medical Response of Connecticut, Inc.

Summary

The court held that it had jurisdiction over the city's interlocutory appeal because the city's statutory immunity claim was a colorable claim of sovereign immunity protecting it from suit as well as liability. It further held that the statutory immunity covered the city's storm-response, snow-removal, and emergency-dispatch decisions taken before, during, and after the blizzard, so the alleged dispute about when the emergency ended was not material. The court reversed and directed entry of summary judgment for the city.
