MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Bothke v. Fluor Engineers and Constructors, Inc., 713 F.2d 1405 (9th Cir. 1983):
A comparable oversight occurred with regard to the current scope of executive immunity in general in a criminal case against an executive official adverting to civil liability by way of analogy. See Clifton v. Cox, 549 F.2d 722, 726 (9th Cir.1977) ("It is well-settled that a federal official cannot be held personally liable in a civil suit for acts committed within the outer perimeter of his line of duty").
