Description
This case involves the question of whether two county prosecutors in Kentucky are absolutely immune from suit under § 1983 for their involvement in the indictment of the plaintiff for child abuse. Plaintiff, a university professor, claims that the two prosecutors and two other individuals, one of them his former wife, conspired to bring false charges before the county grand jury. Because the prosecutors' challenged conduct occurred while they were functioning in a "quasi-judicial" or "advocatory" role, we conclude that they are entitled to absolute immunity, and accordingly we affirm.
