Outcome

The Eighth Circuit reversed the district court's denial of qualified immunity to Officer Adams, finding that she did not violate the detainee's clearly established constitutional rights by failing to notify receiving authorities that the detainee was on close-observation status after a mental health professional determined he was not suicidal.
