Geral W. Sosbee v. Department of Justice (2001)
Synopsis
Plaintiff asserted constitutional violations by United States
Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and
individual federal agents in their official and individual
capacities, alleging a terrorist campaign against him that
included home invasions, car invasions, and chemical
plantings in his food. The United States District Court for the
Central District of California, Manuel L. Real, J., dismissed
the action with prejudice. Plaintiff appealed. The Court of
Appeals held that: (1) agencies, and individual defendants in
their official capacities, were immune from the suit, and (2)
allegations did not support an action against the agents in their
individual capacities.
