CYNTHIA KELLER-BEE v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Court of Appeals, Barbera, June 22, 2016,
Judicial Immunity – Clerk not liable for judge’s improper issuance of a body attachment, as the judge’s approval was the proximate cause of the injury and the judge had absolute immunity
Judicial Immunity – Absolute Immunity – The only exception to the broad grant of absolute immunity is if an act is performed when “there is clearly no jurisdiction over the subject-matter” and “the want of jurisdiction is known to the judge.”
