Can a judge be found to have been granted judicial immunity in a civil matter?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Gordon v. Wooten, CASE NO. 1:12-cv-00012-AWI-SKO (E.D. Cal. 2012):
There are two general circumstances where judicial immunity is overcome: (1) where a judge's act is not a judicial action, and (2) when the judge acts in the clear absence of all jurisdiction. Id. at 11-12; see also Hyland v. Wonder, 117 F.3d 405, 413 n. 1 (9th Cir. 1997), as amended 127 F.3d 1135 (9th Cir. 1997). Neither of those circumstances apply here.
