In Mosher-Simons v. County of Allegheny (99 NY2d 214 [2002]), the Court of Appeals held that the doctrine of judicial immunity extended to a social services caseworker who had been ordered by the Family Court to complete home studies of two parties who had requested custody of a child. It found that judicial immunity applied to those whose actions are an integral part of the judicial process and was limited to claims arising from the performance of the specific judicially delegated function.
