Annotate this CasePlaintiff sued her former employer, the Third Judicial District, and its current and former directors under 42 U.S.C. 1983, claiming that the employer fired her in violation of the First Amendment. The district court denied defendants' motions for summary judgment based on qualified immunity. The court dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction where qualified immunity was not a defense available to a governmental entity and its current director in his official capacity. Further, the remaining defendant was deceased and was not a proper party on appeal.
Court Description: Civil case - Civil rights. Since none of the appellants are proper parties for an appeal of the order denying defendants summary judgment based on qualified immunity, the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
