OPINION
BUSTAMANTE, Judge.
The district court dismissed Christopher Coyazo’s (Coyazo) “Complaint for False Imprisonment” pursuant to a SCRA 1986, 1-012(B)(6) (Repl.1992) motion. Coyazo presents two issues on appeal. First, whether the law enforcement officer exception under the Tort Claims Act applies to the district attorney’s office when it acts in its prosecutorial capacity. NMSA 1978, § 41-4-12 (Repl. Pamp.1987). And, second, whether the immunity granted public defenders violates Coyazo’s right to equal protection by depriving him of a legal remedy against his attorney. We affirm.
