of Orange, 212 Cal. App. 3d 278, 288 (1989) (same); Bocanegra v. Jakubowski, 241 Cal. App. 4th 848, 858 (2015) ("Absolute prosecutorial immunity extends to false imprisonment claims."). This rule of California substantive law extends beyond the protections afforded prosecutors at common law. It affords Meidinger immunity as to the false imprisonment cause of action for her investigatory conduct in this case.
The false imprisonment claim against Meidinger will be dismissed without leave to amend.
