The following excerpt is from In re Castillo, 297 F.3d 940 (9th Cir. 2002):
Antoine involved a section 1983 action against a seriously delinquent court reporter, who despite payment therefor and several court orders, failed to deliver a complete transcript of a criminal trial on appeal. Reasoning that the making of the official record of a court proceeding by a court reporter is "part of the judicial function," we concluded that the reporter was entitled to absolute quasi-judicial immunity for actions within the scope of her authority. Antoine v. Byers & Anderson, Inc., 950 F.2d 1471, 1476 (9th Cir.1991), rev'd 508 U.S. 429, 113 S.Ct. 2167, 124 L.Ed.2d 391 (1993).
