Text: 21 The City of Detroit is not before us on any claim of good faith or qualified immunity as are the individual defendants in this appeal. The City of Detroit does claim immunity from tort liability in this case under Michigan law, and also claims non-liability based upon Monell v. Dept. of Public Health, 436 U.S. 658 (1978). We do not address these claims except to note that if the plaintiffs' claim against the City of Detroit is based upon respondeat superior, then Monell provides a proper basis for judgment in the City of Detroit's favor. See also Jett v. Dallas Independent School District, 491 U.S. 701, 731 (1989). 22 In sum, we AFFIRM the district court's denial of summary judgment on the issue of qualified immunity as to the defendant Riccinto. We REVERSE the district court on the issue of qualified immunity as to the defendant Salisbury, and direct that judgment be granted Salisbury on all of the plaintiffs' claims.
