MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Reynolds v. Shaffer, No. 2:14-cv-3010-EFB P (E.D. Cal. 2015):

Defendant is also immune from damages in her individual capacity. Parole board officials are entitled to absolute quasi-judicial immunity for decisions to "grant, deny, or revoke parole," which are "functionally comparable to tasks performed by judges." Swift v. California, 384 F.3d 1184, 1189 (9th Cir. 2004) (internal quotation marks omitted); id. at 1191 ("[A]n official who

adjudicates parole decisions is entitled to quasi-judicial immunity for those decisions, and actions integral to those decisions.").
