• holding that the rape of a homeless shelter employee by a shelter client in the workplace during work hours did not fall within the assault exception
• holding that the assault exception did not apply to the rape of a female director of a homeless shelter because being in isolated places with male clients was both a potential job duty and a “causal factor”
• implying that a defendant’s challenge to jurisdiction and a defendant’s claim of immunity from suit involve “essentially the same rationale”
• “Where the [Workers’ Compensation] Act provides the employee’s exclusive remedy, the district courts have no jurisdiction.”
• “Government officials entitled to immunity should not be forced to endure the expense and delay of proceeding to trial.”
• \[I]mmediate appeal is permitted where a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction is denied.\
