Shemica Taylor v. Circuit Court of Illinois, Cook County, et al.

In Trump v. United States, 603 U.S. (2024) whether a (former) officer of the Executive branch is entitled to immunity from prosecution requires distinguishing “official and unofficial actions” with “no immunity for unofficial acts.” The question presented is:

1. Whether an officer of the Judicial branch must be subject to a different standard to determine entitlement to immunity from prosecution. In Kemp v, United States, 142 S. Ct. 1856 (2022), a “mistake” under Rule 60(b)(1) is held as inclusive of a judge’s errors of law, per the text, structure and history, for relief. The question presented is:

2. Whether the same Rule 60’s subparagraph (b)(3) also authorizes relief for a district court’s “misrepresentation” or “fraud.”
