Action against Deputy Judges dismissed under Rule 2.1 due to absolute judicial immunity.
The defendants, two Deputy Judges of the Small Claims Court, requested the dismissal of the plaintiff's action under Rule 2.1 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
The plaintiff sued the Deputy Judges over rulings they made in a Small Claims Court proceeding, alleging obstruction of justice.
The court found the action to be frivolous and an abuse of process on its face, as judicial officers have absolute immunity from civil liability for actions performed in their judicial capacity.
The action was dismissed.
