What is the test for determining whether an act of contempt of court is judicial in nature?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Barnes v. Hanford Superior Court Judge, Case No. 1:20-cv-00390-AWI-SAB (E.D. Cal. 2020):

To determine if an act is judicial in nature, the court considers whether (1) the precise act is a normal judicial function; (2) the events occurred in the judge's chambers; (3) the controversy centered around a case then pending before the judge; and (4) the events at issue arose directly and immediately out of a confrontation with the judge in his or her official capacity. Duvall v. Cty. of Kitsap, 260 F.3d 1124, 1133 (9th Cir. 2001), as amended on denial of reh'g (Oct. 11, 2001) (quoting Meek v. County of Riverside, 183 F.3d 962, 967 (9th Cir. 1999)).
