Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Haralson, Kinerk & Morey, P.C. by Dale Haralson, Gregory G. Wasley, R. Douglas Holt, Tucson, for plaintiffs-appellants.

Grant Woods, Atty. Gen. by Robert N. Hillock, Diane M. Miller, Asst. Attys. Gen., Phoenix, for defendant-appellee.


OPINION

WEISBERG, Judge.

Brenda Kay Axline's parents and Tracy Kim Johnson's parents ("appellants") appeal the trial court's granting of summary judgment in this negligence/wrongful death suit. Because we hold that the State is shielded from appellants' claims by the absolute immunity provisions of Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. ("A.R.S.") section 12-820.01, we affirm the summary judgment granted by the trial court.
