US District Judge Avern Cohn also ruled that Wayne County Family Court Judge Judy A. Hartsfield is not entitled to judicial immunity  because in presigning the orders, she was acting as an administrator, not a judge. 

 

In allowing the case to proceed, U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn ruled that if the allegations are true, the practice of presigning orders violated the parent and child’s fundamental right to family integrity and the “clearly established” rights of parents to a notice and a hearing before the removal of their child, barring an emergency situation.
