The following excerpt is from Steven Wayne Bonilla CDCR #J-48500 v. Bashant, Case No.: 3:18-cv-02061-GPC-WVG (S.D. Cal. 2018):
dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915A(b)(2) because judges and court administrators fulfilling those functions are absolutely immune. See Chavez v. Robinson, 817 F.3d 1162, 1167-68 (9th Cir. 2016) (noting that 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B)(iii) requires the court to dismiss an action "at any time" if it "seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief."); see also 28 U.S.C. 1915A(b)(2) ("On review [of a civil action filed by a prisoner seeking redress from a governmental entity or officer] the court shall identify cognizable claims or dismiss the complaint, or any portion of the complaint, if [it](2) seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune.").
