MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Gregory v. Fresno Cnty., Case No. 1:18-cv-00524-LJO-SAB (E.D. Cal. 2018):
absolute immunity protects prosecutors and agency attorneys for conduct that is "intimately associated with the judicial phases" of litigation. Fry v. Melaragno, 939 F.2d 832, 836-37 (9th Cir. 1991). However, "[a] prosecutor's administrative duties and those investigatory functions that do not relate to an advocate's preparation for the initiation of a prosecution or for judicial proceedings are not entitled to absolute immunity." Buckley, 509 U.S. at 273.
