High Court shields judge in sterilization case

The Supreme Court, by a 5 to 4 vote, upheld judicial immunity for DeKalb County Circuit Judge Harold D. Stump who approved a tubal ligation for a 15 year old girl in 1971. The decision reverses a federal appeals ruling and asserts that judges cannot be sued for erroneous or even malicious decisions without a clear absence of jurisdiction. Justices White, Stewart, Marshall, Powell dissented in part, condemning the action as beyond the pale of judicial conduct. Linda Kay Sparkman and Leo Sparkman filed suit in 1975 for damages over the operation performed on Linda Kay Spitler Sparkman, who later learned she could not have children.
