Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals · decided 1998-03-20

Relies on Hawley v. Nelson

Decided 1998-03-20

NOTICE: Eighth Circuit Rule 28A(k) governs citation of unpublished opinions and provides that they are not precedent and generally should not be cited unless relevant to establishing the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, the law of the case, or if the opinion has persuasive value on a material issue and no published opinion would serve as well.

¶2

Virgil O. Hooker, Dora E. Hooker, David O. Hooker, and Gloria J. Hooker sued an Arkansas state judge, alleging he had violated their constitutional rights by making certain rulings in a prior foreclosure action brought against the Hookers. The district court1 granted, on the basis of absolute judicial immunity, defendant's motion to dismiss, and denied the Hookers' postjudgment motions. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude the district court's rulings were clearly correct. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
