   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1655
   District of Nebraska - North Platte   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley and Beam, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. Chief Medical Officer of the State of
   Nebraska was entitled to absolute immunity on claim use of a hearing
   officer to conduct proceedings on complaints under the Nebraska 
   Licensing Law violates plaintiff's civil rights; such protection is
   necessary so that the Chief Medical Officer can perform his functions
   without harassment or intimidation; the Chief Medical Officer's absence
   at the hearing does not deprive plaintiff of due process because the
   disciplinary procedures used contain adequate safeguards. Judge Beam,
   concurring.
