U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 05-2762
Eastern District of Missouri
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Riley and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - civil rights. Parole board's decisions classifying Mayorga
were at the heart of its jurisdiction, and the board members were entitled
to absolute immunity on claim Mayorga was wrongly classified as a sex
offender; supervisory defendants could not be personally liable as they
did not have the power or authority to override the Board's classification
decision, withdraw treatment requirements imposed by the Board or
authorize Mayorga's early release from prison.
