The trial court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss based on official immunity. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the duties of monitoring a prisoner and walking a prisoner to a cell were discretionary, not ministerial, and therefore the official immunity doctrine applied.","primaryTopic":"governmental-immunity","topicSlugs":["governmental-immunity","wrongful-death","negligence","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=209833","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/david-raymond-cady-et-al-appellants-v-city-of-malden-missouri-a-municipal-d38100","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: negligence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"wrongful-death","label":"Wrongful Death","href":"/practice-areas/wrongful-death","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: wrongful-death"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/wrongful-death"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
