Date Filed Document Text
August 28, 2023 Filing 17 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed the motion to dismiss, or motion for change of venue, filed by Defendant Kathleen Sloan, who is a state court judge in Kansas. Plaintiffs filed suit against Judge Sloan based on the content of her orders in a pending case. A response is due by September 15, 2023. The Court reminds Plaintiffs that they have an obligation under the Federal Rules to have a good faith basis for any lawsuit. And judges enjoy sweeping judicial immunity. So, the Court encourages Plaintiffs to think hard and carefully consider whether there is a good faith basis to proceed on the claims against a sitting judge. Mailed notice (jjr, )
