The following excerpt is from Gaceta v. U.S., 883 F.2d 1023 (9th Cir. 1989):
Sugiyama was the court reporter who transcribed the proceedings in the state court action. A court reporter is protected by qualified immunity in the course of his official conduct. Green v. Maraio, 722 F.2d 1013, 1018 (2d Cir.1983). No evidence was presented which supported Gaceta's allegations that Sugiyama deliberately falsified the official court record. Therefore, no evidence was presented that Sugiyama acted in violation of any of Gaceta's rights.
