Nachtrieb v. County of Orange CA4/3
Casey Nachtrieb sued the County of Orange (County) and four of its social workers, Brigitt Walpus, Minda Herman, Laura Henry, and Mark Lottman, claiming they violated her constitutional right to familial association by causing her to lose custody of her young daughter, E.P., when they repeatedly fabricated, suppressed, and misrepresented evidence in the juvenile dependency court to make it appear Nachtrieb had caused E.P. to falsely accuse her father of sexually abusing her on multiple occasions. Nachtrieb alleged three federal civil rights claims against Defendants under Title 42 United States Code sections 1983, 1985, and 1986, and also a claim under Monell v. Dept. of Soc. Serv. of City of N.Y. (1978) 436 U.S. 658 (Monell), claiming the County’s policies, practices, and customs caused the violations of Nachtrieb’s constitutional rights. Finally, Nachtrieb alleged a claim for declaratory relief against all Defendants.
