Case No. C18-0261RSL
ORDER OF DISMISSAL

14

On February 28, 2018, plaintiff was directed to show cause why the claims he has
15

asserted against a judicial officer for decisions made while performing adjudicative functions
16

should not be dismissed. Having reviewed plaintiff’s response, the Court finds that plaintiff has
17

not alleged or identified any basis for his complaint that does not involve defendant’s judicial
18

determinations. The defendant is absolutely immune from liability for acts done in the exercise
19

of his judicial functions and that this immunity protects him from exposure to the litigation
20

process in its entirety. Plaintiff’s claims are, therefore, dismissed with prejudice.
