   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1755
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Chief Judge Riley, Author, with Beam and Kelly, Circuit 
   Judges] 
   Civil Case - civil rights. On claims of violation of substantive due 
   process and state law negligence against defendants for releasing mentally 
   ill inmate early from incarceration, the claims against the county, city, 
   and private health care contractor were waived; the section 1983 
   individual capacity claims against the state and department officials were 
   properly dismissed, as there is no general substantive due process right 
   to be protected against the release of criminals from confinement and the 
   special relationship and state-created danger exceptions did not apply, as 
   those exceptions require a specific affirmative duty to a particular 
   individual or a membership in a limited, precisely definable group, not 
   the general public. The district court did not err in dismissing the state 
   law negligence claims, as Glasglow did not demonstrate the state owed a 
   duty to the victim. Judge Kelly concurs.
