   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3903
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
[PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Kobes, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Civil rights. The defendant Missouri state court judge crossed the limits of his authority when he personally escorted plaintiff's minor children to jail, stood there while they removed their clothes and personal belongings, and personally came back an hour later to release them; he was not entitled to judicial immunity for these acts as they were not a function normally performed by a judge; however, the judge had juridiction to issue a pick-up order after plaintiff and the children failed to appear in his court, and he cannot be sued for issuing the order.
