Torts — qualified immunity

Monroe County and its insurer Wisconsin County Mutual Insurance Corporation (collectively, the County or jail personnel) appeal an order that denied the County’s summary judgment motion to dismiss a negligence claim brought against it by the Estate of Adrianna Seroy and by the individuals Zachary Seroy, Dhakari Seroy, and Deonte Seroy (collectively, the Estate). For the reasons discussed below, we conclude that the circuit court should have granted summary judgment in the County’s favor on the grounds of qualified immunity. Accordingly, we reverse the summary judgment order and remand with directions that the court dismiss the negligence action against the County. This opinion will not be published.
