U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-3128
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Loken and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. The district court did not err in denying
defendant Border's motion for judgment as a matter of law as there was
sufficient evidence for the jury to find Borders, an employee of the St.
Charles Habiliation Center, was acting under color of state law when he
sexually assaulted plaintiff, a resident of the state-run center for the
developmentally disabled; the jury instructions on plaintiff's substantive
due process claim were not erroneous; compensatory damage award of $1
million and punitive damage award of $3 million affirmed.
