How has the court interpreted the principle of absolute immunity for a defendant in a civil case?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Anderson v. Marsh, 985 F.3d 726 (9th Cir. 2021):

4 We recognize that some of our pre-Plumhoff decisions expressed this principle in less than precise language. See, e.g. , Johnson v. Bay Area Rapid Transit Dist. , 724 F.3d 1159, 1179 (9th Cir. 2013) ("To the extent the district court relied upon disputed facts to deny [the defendant] immunity, we lack jurisdiction to review that denial.").
