V.S. Ex Rel. T.S. v. Muhammad

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that it was plausible that a 22 month old was “conscious of her prolonged separation from her parents” and her confinement where the complaint alleged she “suffered extreme humiliation, pain and suffering, terror, mental anguish and depression’
• concluding that even if the caseworker had been aware that the presiding doctor had a “reputation” for over-diagnosing child abuse, it was not unreasonable for them to rely on the doctor’s diagnosis when her opinion was shared by other doctors
• holding qualified immunity applied to caseworkers because it was objectively reasonable for them to rely on the—ultimately incorrect—diagnosis of a qualified medical professional
• observing that federal courts are “bound to apply the law as interpreted by a state’s intermediate appellate courts unless there is persuasive evidence that the state’s highest court would reach a different conclusion”
• finding qualified immunity for all city defendants despite that a relevant exculpatory fact regarding custody at the time of injury was not raised to the Family Court
• this Court is “bound to apply the law as interpreted by …. the state's highest court”
