7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Jennifer R. Wilson-Trattner v. Robert Campbell, et al.

Case No.: 16-2509

Officials: BAUER and EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judges, and DEGUILIO, District Judge.

Focus: Court Error – Sentencing Guidelines

In this appeal, the Plaintiff argues that the district court incorrectly granted summary judgment for the defense on three of her claims: a substantive due process claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, a failure to train claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim under Indiana law. Each of these is based on allegations that officers of the Hancock County, Indiana Sherriff’s Department improperly responded to the Plaintiff’s complaints of domestic abuse. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
