Kelley v. Morris

District of Columbia Court of Appeals

Decided April 9, 1979No. 12941PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

KELLY, Associate Judge:

In this case the trial judge dismissed appellant Kelley’s complaint, holding that D.C.Code 1973, § 31-104a 1 immunized the appellees, members of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia, against personal liability for their official actions. Appellant now contends that he was not seeking to hold the Board members personally liable and that the dismissal of his complaint was therefore error. Finding that the Board members are immunized against personal liability and that appellant has presented no other basis upon which his suit can be maintained, we affirm. 2
