4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[I]n order to establish that it took proper action to correct harassment, [the defendant is] required to show that it acted reasonably promptly on [the plaintiff's] complaint when it was given proper notice of her allegations as required under its complaint procedures.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“State district judges do not exercise a sufficient degree of control over the myriad operations of the state. Rather, they operate in a limited sphere (the judicial branch) and perform a limited role (interpreting and applying the law that is enacted by other state officials). Furthermore, their decisions are subject to review and reversal by “higher ranking” state judges. For these reasons, state district judges, although they have considerable authority, do not occupy positions in the top echelons of the state’s management. Nor does any state district judge speak for and represent the state. Indeed, the essential task of all judges is to be independent of the state, even to the extent of occasionally being asked to review the constitutionality or other legality of state actions. Id. (emphasis in original).”
