KACEVIC v. GEORGIA (2021)

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

Enver KACEVIC, Derry Grier, Michael Key, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. State of GEORGIA, Dekalb County Superior Court, Linda Warren Hunter, Judge, Clarence F. Seeliger, Judge, Defendants-Appellees.

No. 20-11895

Decided: January 15, 2021

Before WILLIAM PRYOR, Chief Judge, LAGOA and BRASHER, Circuit Judges.

Enver Kacevic, Pro Se Derry Grier, Pro Se Michael Key, Pro Se Deborah Nolan Gore, Christopher Michael Carr, Attorney General's Office, Atlanta, GA, for Defendants-Appellees

Enver Kacevic, Derry Grier, and Michael Key appeal pro se the dismissal of their complaint against the State of Georgia and Judges Linda Warren Hunter and Clarence F. Seeliger. The complaint challenges judgments entered by the judges in dispossessory or foreclosure actions in the Dekalb County Superior Court. The district court ruled, and we agree, that the complaint is frivolous. Because the State of Georgia enjoys immunity from suit under the Eleventh Amendment, U.S. Const. amend. XI, and Judges Hunter and Seeliger enjoy absolute judicial immunity, Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349, 356, 98 S.Ct. 1099, 55 L.Ed.2d 331 (1978); McCullough v. Finley, 907 F.3d 1324, 1331 (11th Cir. 2018), from a suit for damages and are not otherwise subject to suit for injunctive relief, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, we affirm the dismissal of the complaint.

AFFIRMED.
