Nellenback v. Madison County

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed dismissal of Michael Nellenback's negligent supervision claim on summary judgment. It held that the evidence did not raise a triable issue that Madison County knew or should have known of the caseworker's propensity for sexual abuse, and that the alleged recordkeeping and supervision deficiencies rested on speculation rather than evidence. The Court also concluded that the record did not establish a departure from the standards reasonably applicable at the time.
