The following excerpt is from Danzer v. Cowlitz County Superior Court, 911 F.2d 737 (9th Cir. 1990):
Ashelman v. Pope, 793 F.2d 1072, 1075-78 (9th Cir.1986). The actions taken by the defendant judges and prosecutors were clearly taken within their official capacities. Consequently, they are immune from suit.
