Junior-Tony Dieujuste v. Jessica Sin, Judge, Family Court of New York, Queens County, et al.
Trademark Copyright
Whether judicial immunity extends to administrative actions taken by court officials in child support proceedings involving unauthorized use of a registered servicemark, and whether courts' circular reasoning misapplies judicial immunity doctrine and trademark law
1. Whether judicial immunity extends to administrative actions taken by court officials in child support proceedings that involve the unauthorized use of a registered servicemark, particularly when New York Family Court Act § 439 designates such proceedings to support magistrates rather than judges. 2. Whether the lower courts' circular reasoning —simultaneously characterizing the defendants' actions as judicial (to invoke immunity) while dismissing trademark claims because they don't constitute "use in commerce" —represents a misapplication of both judicial immunity doctrine and trademark law. 3. Whether the courts' institutional protectionism, evidenced by their failure to address the administrative nature of child support proceedings and the commercial aspects of court operations, warrants this Court's intervention to clarify the boundaries of judicial immunity.
