MISEK-FALKOFF v. DONOVAN

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Judges and those who perform similar functions, such as Hearing Examiners, "`"are not liable to civil actions for their judicial acts, even when such acts are in excess of their jurisdiction, and are alleged to have been done maliciously and corruptly"'" (Colin v. County of Suffolk, 181 A.D.2d 653, 654, quoting Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349, 356). The plaintiff has failed to proffer evidence demonstrating that the defendant performed any acts in the "`clear absence of all jurisdiction'" (Stump v. Sparkman, supra, at 357).

Rosenblatt, J.P., Sullivan, Joy, Altman and Luciano, JJ., concur.
