JOHNSON, Circuit Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. Under the current procedural posture of the instant case, the plaintiffs have sufficiently alleged acts committed after the Texas Court of Appeals’ mandamus order which were in the “clear absence of all jurisdiction.” See Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349, 357, 98 S.Ct. 1099, 1105, 55 L.Ed.2d 331 (1978). Accordingly, I would affirm the district court’s interlocutory decision that plaintiffs’ cause of action against Judge Walker should not be dismissed on immunity grounds.
