Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit June 19, 2003, 01-6136 (Fabien Eldridge v. William E. Gibson, David Day, Robert Durham, Michael H. Knowlton, and Sam Lee)

COLE, Circuit Judge,

concurring in part and dissenting in part.

I concur in the lead opinion with regard to each issue except for the grant of absolute immunity to the special prosecutors; on that issue only, I respectfully dissent.

I find the district court’s rationale for granting absolute immunity, upon which the lead opinion relies, to be unpersuasive.
