Hall grants the county's, sheriff's and board of commissioners' motion to dismiss the widower's civil rights action arising from his wife's death in a car collision with a deputy. The deputy was driving at fast speeds to respond to an emergency call. The county had no authority to control the deputy and therefore cannot be held liable under a theory of supervisory liability for his actions. The deputy and the sheriff are entitled to immunity from the widower's civil rights claims.
