Big Crow v. City of Rushville

This appeal presents procedural issues arising under Nebraska’s Political Subdivisions Tort Claims Act. The Nebraska Court of Appeals reversed a summary judgment entered by the district court for Sheridan County in favor of the City of Rushville (the City) and remanded the cause for further proceedings in the district court. Big Crow v. City of Rushville, 11 Neb. App. 498, 654 N.W.2d 383 (2002). We granted the City’s petition for further review and now affirm the judgment on appeal, although our reasoning differs in some respects from that of the Court of Appeals.
