No. 5D02-3415.

848 So.2d 374 (2003)

Mitchel KALMANSON, Appellant, v. Jerry T. LOCKETT, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Rehearing Denied July 3, 2003.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

T.W. Ackert of T.W. Ackert, P.A., Winter Park, for Appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Pamela Lutton-Shields, Senior Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

MONACO, J.

This appeal examines the breadth of the judicial immunity defense. Mitchel Kalmanson, who was the plaintiff below, sought damages and injunctive relief against a sitting judge arising out of actions taken by the judge in Mr. Kalmanson's dissolution of marriage action after the judge had entered an order of recusal. We have concluded that the causes of actions about which Mr. Kalmanson complains are barred by the doctrine of judicial immunity.
