Coyle v. Harper, 622 So. 2d 302

The plaintiffs, Gail Coyle and her daughter, Wendy Hicks, a minor, appeal from a summary judgment for the defendant, Ann Harper, in their action alleging negligent supervision.

She was injured by another student in the classroom while Harper was monitoring the halls during or immediately after the change of classes. Harper was performing a discretionary function and is therefore immune from liability. Nance v. Matthews,622 So.2d 297 (Ala. 1993). The summary judgment for the defendant is affirmed.

AFFIRMED.
