United States Ninth Circuit

District court correctly dismissed plaintiff's complaint, which alleges that defendants' decisions and actions revoking and denying her physician assistant's license were motivated by their sentiments about her membership in the Mormon Church. Defendants are functionally comparable to judges and prosecutors and are accordingly entitled to absolute immunity for their quasi-judicial and quasi-prosecutorial acts.
