1Opinion of the CourtJustice Kourlis
We granted certiorari to review the court of appeals decision in Henderson v. Romer, 910 P.2d 48 (Colo.App.1995), affirming the trial court’s order dismissing Petitioner Mary L. Henderson’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) claims against Frank Gunther, William Price, and Captain Ron Wager. We conclude that Henderson has failed to state a cognizable § 1983 claim. Therefore, we affirm the court of appeals.
I
Because the case was resolved on a motion to dismiss, we must view the allegations in Henderson’s amended complaint in the light most favorable to her case. Dunlap v. Colorado Springs Cablevision, 829…
