Plaintiff seeks to amend his Complaint to change his malpractice allegations to
the charge of malicious prosecution. Even if the Court were to allow Plaintiff to change his
cause of action, the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss would still be granted, as the immunity
discussed therein applies to claims of malicious prosecution as well.
