Description
Appeal by plaintiffs from order entered 3 November 1998 by Judge James L. Baker, Jr. in Gaston County Superior Court. Heard in the Court of Appeals 20 October 1999. Plaintiffs brought this civil action on 5 June 1998, alleging ""infliction of emotional distress"" and ""gross negligence"" claims against the City of Gastonia and three of its employees, officers of the Gastonia Police Department. On 3 November 1998, the trial court granted defendants' 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss all claims based on the public duty doctrine. As such, our review must determine ""whether, as a matter of law, the allegations of the complaint, treated as true, are sufficient to state a claim upon which relief may be granted under some legal theory."" Harris v. NCNB, 85 N.C. App. 669, 670, 355 S.E.2d 838, 840 (1987).
