United States Second Circuit

Dismissal of a civil rights action on ground of absolute immunity is affirmed where defendant State's Attorney's actions were judicial in nature and Connecticut law arguably confers on prosecutors a limited power to unilaterally raise plaintiff's judicially set bond from $1,000 to $250,000.
