Ramirez V. Fifth Club

This case stems from an altercation at an Austin nightclub. Luis a/k/a Louis Medrano and David A. West were employed to work as security personnel for the club. Roberto, Adolfo, and Laura Ramirez*fn1 were all allegedly assaulted by West or Medrano. Following a ten-day jury trial, a jury found Fifth Club and West liable for injuries to Roberto but determined that West and Medrano were not liable to Adolfo and Laura because they were functioning as peace officers and entitled to official immunity.
