Opinion
Case No. 1:19-cv-01613
07-17-2019
COLUMBIA MHC East LLC, et al., Plaintiff, v. MELODY J. STEWART, et al., Defendants.
OPINION & ORDER
Plaintiffs filed the instant action on July 15, 2019. Doc #: 1. The Complaint's allegations arise from an Opinion from the Ohio Court of Appeals issued on December 20, 2018 and names three sitting Ohio judges as defendants. See Compl. ¶¶ 5-7; 17. Judges are absolutely immune for acts undertaken in their official capacity. Studer v. Heeter, 869 F.2d 1493 (6th Cir. 1989). Thus, Plaintiffs do not have a cognizable claim. Accordingly, the Court sua sponte DISMISSES this action WITH PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
