OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Patrick C. Lynn appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988). Upon review of the record, we find that Defendants enjoy absolute immunity from Plaintiff's damages claims. See McClain v. Kitchen, 505 F.Supp. 862, 863 (E.D.Mo.), aff'd, 659 F.2d 870 (8th Cir.1981). We affirm the entry of summary judgment on the basis of immunity. We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.
