Description
This is a civil rights action brought against certain administrators and supervisors of a state mental hospital by a patient who claims that the defendants' failure to perform their jobs in a proper manner led to her being raped by one of the hospital's employees. The plaintiff also complains that the defendants allowed her to inflict numerous injuries on herself. The defendants' alleged misconduct is claimed to have constituted a clear violation of the United States Constitution, to say nothing of the common law of Ohio. The trial court dismissed three of the five counts in the plaintiff's complaint, but declined to recognize a qualified-immunity defense as to the other two counts. The defendants perfected an interlocutory appeal. Believing that the defendants are wholly immune from suit for the alleged violations of the Federal Constitution, we shall reverse the judgment of the district court insofar as it failed to dismiss the complaint in its entirety.
