Emanuel Westfall Jr.
Emanuel Westfall Jr. (1862-1923) was my father's uncle, the son of Emanuel Westfall Sr. and Hannah (Kelley) Westfall, and the only brother of my grandfather Jasper Mifflin Westfall. His father, My great grandfather Emanuel Westfall Sr. (1828-1863) was killed while plowing during the Civil War in 1863 in West Virginia. I don't know the circumstances. He may have been killed by some kind of military action. The Civil War was raging in Virginia at the time, and the state was divided by warring factions. In 1861 West Virginia had split off to become a separate state. It entered the Union in 1863.
After my great grandfather's death his wife Hannah (Kelley) Westfall (1837-1918) moved with her 2 sons (my grandfather Jasper who was only 6 and his one year old brother Emanuel Jr.) to near Bloomington, McLean County, IL. She may have had relatives in the area. She and her youngest son Emanuel Westfall Jr. stayed in Bloomington, McLean County, IL after her oldest son, my grandfather, Jasper Mifflin Westfall and his first wife Mary Jane Shannon and her parents had moved on to Kansas in 1878. My father's uncle Emanuel Westfall Jr. married and remained in the Bloomington, McLean County, Illinois area, and farmed and raised his family there.

"The Westfall Act"
Rodney Preston Westfall's name was given to a law called the Westfall Act.
Rodney Preston Westfall was the chief of the Receiving Section at the Anniston Army Depot in Anniston, Alabama. He and Osburn Rutledge, the chief of the Breakdown and Bulk Delivery Unit, and William Bell, the chief of Unloading Unit No. 1 were sued by William T. Erwin, Sr., who was employed by the federal government as a civilian warehouseman at the Anniston Army Depot in Anniston, Alabama. He asserts that he was injured on February 9, 1984, when he "picked up a bag of soda ash and inhaled some of the soda ash dust that had spilled from the bag" (Erwin Affidavit filed June 4, 1985, at 1). He claims that as a result of his contact with the soda ash he sustained chemical burns in his eyes and throat that caused permanent injury to his vocal chords and impairment of his ability to speak (ibid.; Complaint at 4). William Erwin and his wife, respondent Emely Erwin, subsequently commenced this action in Alabama state court. The complaint alleged that "bags or containers of soda ash were improperly and negligently stored at (William Erwin's) workplace," that "such bags or containers were negligently designed or manufactured or alternatively, that the manufacturers or distributors of such bags issued inadequate warnings concerning their use and storage" (Complaint at 3). William Erwin stated in a subsequently filed affidavit that "(t)he soda ash that I inhaled was improperly stored and should not have been routed to the warehouse where I was working. The court case went all the way to the United States Supreme Court. The Supreme Court's decision in Westfall v. Erwin, 484 U.S. 292 (1988) limited a federal official's absolute immunity from tort claims to situations where the official's actions were "within the outer perimeter of an official's duties and . . . discretionary in nature." The US Congress saw this as an erosion of the common law tort immunity formerly available to federal employees and so the Westfall Act "was rushed into law in 1988 to avoid what was expected to be a crisis in exposing federal workers to court suits". Rodney Preston Westfall's name was given to a law called the Westfall Act.
Notably used to avoid the charge that the Iraq war is illegal, so something of a carte blanche for US government employees whom the legal system wishes to defend. The Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act of 1988, (Westfall Act), 28 U.S.C. § 2679, amended the Federal Tort Claims Act to provide for the substitution of the United States as a defendant in any action where one of its employees is sued for damages as a result of an alleged common law tort committed by the employee within the scope of his or her employment. Origins The United States Supreme Court's decision in Westfall v. Erwin, 484 U.S. 292 (1988) limited a federal official's absolute immunity from tort claims to situations where the official's actions were "within the outer perimeter of an official's duties and . . . discretionary in nature." The US Congress saw this as an erosion of the common law tort immunity formerly available to federal employees and so the Westfall Act "was rushed into law in 1988 to avoid what was expected to be a crisis in exposing federal workers to court suits".[1] Citations The United States Department of Justice cited this act in the case of Saleh v. Bush, avoiding the need to rule on whether the Iraq War was a premeditated war of aggression, by claiming that the court had no "subject-matter jurisdiction" since George Bush et al. were "Government employees [acting] in the scope of their employment".[2] A 2016 appeal was rejected in February 2017 by 3-0, with Judge Susan Graber stating that "What took place in the late 1990s was not planning, but only advocacy.
Petitioner Rodney P. Westfall is the chief of the Receiving Section at the Anniston Army Depot in Anniston, Alabama., Osburn Rutledge is the chief of the Breakdown and Bulk Delivery Unit, and William Bell is the chief of Unloading Unit No. 1 William T. Erwin, Sr., is employed by the federal government as a civilian warehouseman at the Anniston Army Depot in Anniston, Alabama. He asserts that he was injured on February 9, 1984, when he "picked up a bag of soda ash and inhaled some of the soda ash dust that had spilled from the bag" (Erwin Affidavit filed June 4, 1985, at 1). He claims that as a result of his contact with the soda ash he sustained chemical burns in his eyes and throat that caused permanent injury to his vocal chords and impairment of his ability to speak (ibid.; Complaint at 4). William Erwin and his wife, respondent Emely Erwin, subsequently commenced this action in Alabama state court. The complaint alleged that "bags or containers of soda ash were improperly and negligently stored at (William Erwin's) workplace," that "such bags or containers were negligently designed or manufactured or alternatively, that the manufacturers or distributors of such bags issued inadequate warnings concerning their use and storage" (Complaint at 3). William Erwin stated in a subsequently filed affidavit that "(t)he soda ash that I inhaled was improperly stored and should not have been routed to the warehouse where I was working. Further, someone should have known that it was there and provided me with some warning as to its presence and danger before I inhaled it" (Erwin Affidavit at 1). (William Erwin was reimbursed under the FECA for his medical costs and received disability pay for the period that he was unable to work. He did not receive compensation for the alleged permanent harm to his vocal chords on the ground that the FECA does not authorize compensation for that injury.)
Petitioners, three federal employees who are supervisors at the Anniston Depot, are named as defendants in the complaint. /1/ The complaint also lists as defendants 21 unnamed individuals or entities (Complaint at 1-3). William Erwin seeks damages in the amount of $500,000; Emely Erwin seeks $25,000 in damages for loss of consortium (id, at 4, 5). Petitioners removed the action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1442(a) (1); they filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative for summary judgment on the ground that they were absolutely immune from suit. Respondents opposed the motion, asserting that a federal employee is entitled to immunity from tort liability only if the employee is engaged in policymaking activities. William Erwin filed an affidavit stating that petitioners "are not involved in any policy-making work for the United States Government. Their job duties are similar to mine, with the addition of their supervisory responsibilities. Therefore, (i)t is my understanding that their duties only require them to follow established procedures and guidelines. We all work at the operational level of the United States Government and are not at the policy and planning level" (Erwin Affidavit at 2). The district court granted the motion and dismissed the action against petitioners (App., infra 4a-7a). The court first observed that petitioners' motion was accompanied by an affidavit stating that they were "acting under color of their office and within the scope of their official duties at the time of the acts or omissions made the basis of" respondents' tort claims; the court noted that respondents did not dispute those facts (id. at 5a). Relying upon Johns v. Pettibone Corp., 755 F.2d 1484 (11th Cir. 1985), the district court stated that "(t)he law of the Eleventh Circuit is clear that * * * any federal employee is entitled to absolute immunity for ordinary torts committed within the scope of their jobs"; it held that petitioners accordingly were "absolutely immune from suit on account of the matters alleged in the complaint" (id. at 5a). 2. The court of appeals reversed (App., infra, 1a-3a). It observed that "the opinion (in Johns v. Pettibone Corp., supra) relied on by the district court was subsequently withdrawn" (id. at 2a). The revised opinion "establishes the rule that 'a government employee enjoys immunity only if the challenged conduct is a discretionary act and is within the outer perimeter of the actor's line of duty'" (id. at 3a, quoting Johns v. Pettibone Corp., 769 F.2d 724, 728 (11th Cir. 1985) (emphasis in original; citation omitted)). The court of appeals stated that the district court in the present case "erred as a matter of law in applying only one part of the immunity test -- whether the act was in the scope of the employees' duties -- without determining whether the challenged conduct was or was not discretionary" (App., infra, 3a). Finding that respondents had "alleged undisputed facts sufficient to create a material question of whether or not (petitioners') complained-of acts were discretionary," the court reversed the grant of summary judgment and remanded the action for further proceedings (ibid.). Although the court of appeals did not define the term "discretion" in its decision in the present case, another panel of the Eleventh Circuit subsequently stated that "'discretionary acts' involve planning or policy considerations and do not concern day to day operations" (Heathcoat v. Potts, 790 F.2d 1540, 1542 (11th Cir. 1986).
