How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• using these two factors to assess whether action was legislative for purposes of legislative immunity
• finding that legislative immunity did not apply because actions by county officials were “not based on general facts regarding any policy, but instead, [were] based on specific facts of an individual situation related to the district court clerk”
• traditional legislative functions may become administrative, and therefore not protected by legislative immunity, if the action singles out specific individuals
• “If the facts used in the decision-making are more specific, such as those that relate to particular individuals or situations, then the decision is administrative.” (internal citation removed)
