    Default Section 1983 Actions, Quasi-Judicial Functions and Immunity

    My question involves civil rights in the State of: Nevada.

    Absolute immunity (injunction/ §1983)?
    The Federal Court Improvements Act of 1996 amended 42 U.S.C. § 1983 which prohibits injunctive relief against individuals whom perform quasi-judicial function. They have absolute immunity. What has happened since then that has allowed a § 1983 action against individuals whom performed a quasi-judicial parole hearing in Wilkinson v. Dotson[, 544 U.S. 74 (2005)?

    Can someone please elaborate with reference to supporting authority / law?

    Read the case and shepardize the cases it cites. Then read them.

    We do not do homework.

    I suggest starting with the research tools available through your college or, if you don't have any, starting with free legal research sites such as lexisone and Google Scholar.
