Iverson V. Muroc Unified School Dist‪.‬

In this case we address the question whether Government Code section 831.7,*fn1 which provides qualified immunity to public entities and public employees for injuries sustained by a person during "hazardous recreational activity," immunizes a school district from liability for injuries sustained by a minor student during a soccer match conducted as part of a junior high school physical education class. The superior court concluded immunity attached as a matter of law and granted the school district's motion for summary judgment on the minor's complaint for negligence. Michael Iverson, the minor, by and through his guardian ad litem, appeals from the summary judgment granted in favor of Muroc Unified School District et al. (the District).
