Description
We consider an appeal from summary judgment in favor of defendant-appellee Robert H. Helton, Jr. on the grounds of judicial immunity, and from an order dismissing the complaint against the remaining 22 defendants because of plaintiff-appellants lack of standing to maintain the action. The action was brought under 28 U.S.C. §Â§ 1331 and 1343 and under 42 U.S.C. §Â§ 1981-1988 for two million dollars damages against 23 defendants who were charged with conspiring to deprive plaintiff and his clothing and apparel business of the equal protection of the laws of the State of Kentucky and of the laws of the United States of America. It charged that the conspiracy was accomplished, inter alia, by filing false complaints in the state circuit court with the result that orders were issued restraining plaintiff from entering his place of business which was padlocked by court order. These and other calamitous consequences resulted in plaintiffs loss of national franchises with apparel manufacturers and in the appointment of a receiver for the complete liquidation of his business inventory.
