Does a judge have to be immune from liability in a civil action brought by a plaintiff who, as a result of his actions, knowingly or otherwise, consented to non-consensual sterilization?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Olney v. Sacramento County Bar Assn., 212 Cal.App.3d 807, 260 Cal.Rptr. 842 (Cal. App. 1989):
Judges have also been held immune for actions far more grievous than those alleged here. In Stump v. Sparkman, supra, 435 U.S. 349, 98 S.Ct. 1099, 55 L.Ed.2d 331, a judge was found immune from suit by a woman whose unknowing and non-consensual sterilization the judge approved. (Id. at pp. 351-354, 364, 98 S.Ct. at pp. 1101-1104, 1108, 55 L.Ed.2d at pp. 336-338, 344.)
