1Opinion of the Court
SIMMS, Justice:
Gerald Laran Cooper appeals the district court judgment dismissing his cause of action for tortious perjury against appellee, Garlan-da Parker-Hughey, M.D. The district court dismissed the action on two grounds: (1) Dr. Parker-Hughey was entitled to absolute immunity from suit in her capacity as a prosecution witness, and (2) Cooper failed to prosecute the civil action by failing to appear on the day of trial. The Court of Appeals affirmed on the failure to prosecute ground and also held that an action for tortious perjury is not recognized in OHahoma.
