FAHEY, individually as Chairperson of the Virginia Parole Board; DARNLEY R. HODGE, individually as the Superintendent of the Riverside Regional Jail, Defendants. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge. (3:06-cv-00309-REP) Submitted: January 17, 2008 Decided: January 23, 2008 Before TRAXLER, SHEDD, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Jimmy Bowman, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Jimmy Bowman appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. We have reviewed the record and conclude that the Appellee was entitled to derivative absolute judicial immunity. McCray v. Maryland, 456 F.2d 1, 5 (4th Cir. 1972). Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED - 2 -
