Christina Forester v. Crystal May

Summary

The Court affirmed dismissal of the wrongful-death petition because the petition’s allegations established that the defendant, a public employee acting within the scope of her duties and without alleged malice, was entitled to official immunity. The alleged SAFE CARE referral was not a ministerial task because the governing manual allowed discretion regarding whether and how to make the referral. The Court did not reach the separate causation challenges because immunity was dispositive.
