U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 05-1862
Western District of Missouri
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Smith and Heaney, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - civil rights. When district court remanded remaining state-
law claims against the defendants in the case, it had nothing left to
resolve, and the order granting summary judgment to social worker and
her supervisor became a final, appealable judgment; there was a factual
dispute as to whether the defendant social worker made all of the home
visits required by the provisions of a consent decree governing Jackson
County social workers, and the district court erred in granting the social
worker summary judgment based on official immunity; social worker's
supervisor was not covered by the consent decree, and his supervision of
the social and his management of the case were protected by official
immunity.
