Lennon v. Petersen

The plaintiff, Patrick Lennon, appeals from a summary judgment for the defendants in a negligence action. Lennon sued his soccer coach, Carlos Petersen, and his athletic trainer, Debbie Lee, both on the staff of the University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH), alleging that they had acted negligently and that because of their negligence he was injured and damaged. The defendants moved for a summary judgment, which was entered in their favor based on the defense of discretionary function immunity. The plaintiff appeals. We affirm.
