Monell v. New York City Dept. of Social Servs. green
scotus · 1978
2 sentences

1996In Monell v. New York City Dep't of Social Serv., 436 U.S. 658, 690-92 , 98 S.Ct. 2018, 2035-36 , 56 L.Ed. 2d 611 (1978), the United States Supreme Court determined that a local government body may only be sued under § 1983 based on allegations that, "under color of some official policy" or "custom," the local body "`cause[d]' an employee to violate another's constitutional rights." Because no issue concerning official policy or custom was raised or addressed by the parties at the trial level or on appeal, we will not decide the question of the City's amenability to suit under § 1983.
