Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 34 F.3d 1076 (10th Cir. 1994) Aug. 5, 1994

Before TACHA, BRORBY and EBEL, Circuit Judges.


ORDER AND JUDGMENT1 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

This appeal is from an order of the district court dismissing claims brought under 42 U.S.C.1981, 1983, 1985(3), and 1988 against several defendants, all of whom were either serving in a prosecutorial or legislative function at the time of the alleged violations. The district court found that all defendants were entitled to either prosecutorial or legislative immunity and therefore entered judgment against appellants on their complaints against Early and Sims and dismissed with prejudice the claims against Senator Wells and Mr. Dubois. The district court correctly analyzed the immunities involved in this case. We AFFIRM for substantially the reasons given by the district court. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
