1Opinion of the Court
DUFFY, Senior Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from a dismissal of a suit brought under Title 42 U.S.C. § 1983 which is commonly known as the Civil Rights Statute. The complaint alleges that Judge Schaefer, acting under the color of state law, denied the appellant his alleged constitutional right to bail, and further deprived him of his liberty without due process of law.
A motion for summary judgment dismissing the suit was granted by the District Court, 307 F.Supp. 690, based upon the ground of “judicial immunity.”
