  • finding § 8104-A inapplicable to AMHI from the death of a patient who jumped from a moving bus to her death. The Court upheld the dismissal as proper because the injury suffered did not arise from “direct” or “natural” contact with the vehicle
  • “Because it involves the exercise of the individual employee's professional judgment, the supervision of patients by State mental health employees also falls within the discretionary function immunity provisions of section 8111(1)(C)”
