Plaintiff Susan Lamb sued the Tenth Judicial District Drug Task Force (DTF) and Officer David Jones under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Tennessee Governmental Tort Liability Act (TGTLA), alleging violations of her constitutional rights and state law claims of malicious prosecution and false imprisonment. Defendants moved to dismiss, arguing the DTF is a state agency not subject to § 1983 and Officer Jones is immune as a state employee. The court found it could not determine the DTF's status as a state or local entity, or Officer Jones's state employee status, without reviewing extrinsic materials.
