A family court judge must face a lawsuit for leading a warrantless search of a litigant’s home in a divorce dispute, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled Monday.

West Virginia judge Louise Goldston is not entitled to judicial immunity from claims that she violated Matthew Gibson’s constitutional rights when she directed both parties during a divorce proceeding to meet at Gibson’s house to search for property his ex-wife claimed he still had, the 4th Circuit held.
