Bulanon v. Dept. of Corrections
Plaintiff Manuel Bulanon filed this action seeking to compel the defendant, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (Department), to provide a defense and indemnification for any damages in a wrongful death action premised on the death of a prisoner while in his care as a doctor in the defendants employ. The court granted the Departments motion for summary judgment. It found that the plaintiffs waiver of all claims against the Department, which he executed in connection with a settlement of the Departments disciplinary proceedings against him, embraced any claim for defense or indemnification in the wrongful death action that was already pending at the time of the settlement. The plaintiff filed a timely notice of appeal from the notice of entry of judgment. Court affirm.
