MEMORANDUM OPINION
COOPER, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on the motion by defendant Don E. Gibbons (“Gibbons”) pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (“Rule”) 56 for summary judgment dismissing the complaint as asserted against him. Gibbons argues there are no material facts in dispute, and that he is entitled to judgment as a matter of law on plaintiff John C. Williams’.s (“Williams”) claim under 42 U.S.C. § (“Section”) 1983. Because Gibbons is entitled to absolute immunity from Section 1983 liability, the motion will be granted.
