Heading: Alleged Accessing of a Person's Voicemail without Consent and Persuading Becker's Ex-Wife to Record Telephone Calls.

Text: We have no trouble concluding that Trainor is not absolutely immune from allegedly accessing, or ordering someone to access, Flagler's voicemail without her consent, or from persuading Becker's ex-wife to record telephone calls with Flagler. [13] The alleged misconduct is akin to investigatory acts, and absolute immunity does not shield investigatory acts. See, e.g., Van de Kamp v. Goldstein, 555 U.S. 335, 342, 129 S.Ct. 855, 172 L.Ed.2d 706 (2009); Imbler, 424 U.S. at 430, 96 S.Ct. 984; Pierson v. Ray, 386 U.S. 547, 557, 87 S.Ct. 1213, 18 L.Ed.2d 288 (1967). As a result, the district court erred by dismissing Flagler's claims on this ground.
