   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-3211
   Western District of Missouri   
   Civil case - civil rights. On claim that defendants had failed to take 
   adequate steps to prevent plaintiff's assault by a male patient at the 
   Fulton State Hospital Alcohol and Drug Abuse Rehabilitation Unit, 
   defendant Cox, a nurse on the unit, and defendant Houchins, a counselor, 
   were entitled to summary judgment based on qualified immunity, as their 
   actions and inactions were not so egregious and outrageous as to shock 
   the contemporary conscience; defendant Joy, the unit manager, was also 
   entitled to qualified immunity, as plaintiff failed to show Joy's 
   supervisory and training decisions represented a substantial departure 
   from accepted professional judgment, practice and standards; case 
   remanded with directions to grant the defendants' motion for summary 
   judgment.
