CA9: Judicial Immunity for governor’s parole override

The 9th Circuit holds today, in Miller v. Davis, that the former government of California enjoys judicial immunity when he reverses a decision of the parole board even if lacks the actual legal power to do that. 

I am mainly posting this because the plaintiff, Don Miller, is by some accounts, an extraordinary man.  He was a doctor.  He went to law school in prison.  He helped AIDS patients there.  He commented on VC here.
