King v. State

This is an appeal from an Opinion and Order of the Twenty-First Judicial District Court granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Plaintiffs’ complaint for its failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. We affirm.

We restate the issues on appeal as follows:

1. Did the District Court err in dismissing the Plaintiffs’ negligence claim against the Defendants?

2. Did the District Court err in dismissing the Plaintiffs’ intentional tort and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims against the Defendants without addressing those claims in its Opinion and Order?
