The following excerpt is from Hubbard v. Gipson, Case No. 1:14-cv-00042-AWI-JLT (PC) (E.D. Cal. 2014):
In addition, judicial immunity will be lost if the judge performs an act that is not "judicial" in nature. The factors relevant in determining whether an act is judicial "relate to the nature of the act itself, i.e., whether it is a function normally performed by a judge, and to the expectations of the parties, i.e., whether they dealt with the judge in his judicial capacity." Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. at 362.
