The First Circuit affirmed summary judgment for a doctor and hospital, ruling that a mother failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove disability discrimination or negligent infliction of emotional distress.

CARRÉ SUTTON v. TRUDI TAPSCOTT GÉRALD MARIE

The Second Circuit reversed the dismissal of a Child Victims Act claim, clarifying that New York law revives claims for out-of-state abuse if the victim was a New York resident when the cause of action accrued. The court also vacated a dismissal for lack of personal jurisdiction, ruling that the district court erred by raising the defense sua sponte without providing the plaintiff notice or an opportunity to plead facts.
