United States Ninth Circuit
Dugard v. US, 13-17596
In an injury and tort action brought by plaintiff Jaycee Dugard, who was abducted and kept captive in a shed by parolee Phillip Garrido for eighteen years while being repeatedly raped and drugged by him, the district court's judgment in favor of defendant is affirmed where the Federal Tort Claims Act does not permit plaintiff to recover against the federal government for the incompetence of the parole office that was supposed to supervise Garrido's release.
