Sovereign & judicial immunity dismissal
Opinion and Order sustained preliminary objections and dismissed the case against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (absolute sovereign immunity) and against the eight individually-named Lackawanna County judicial defendants (judicial immunity, sovereign immunity, and collateral estoppel). Following a full Lackawanna County bench recusal (one of the individual defendants was a sitting county judge), Senior Judge Arthur L. Zulick was specially assigned and issued this ruling after argument held 6/30/2026. Tufano appealed to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania (No. 1155 MDA 2026). Claims against Lackawanna County and Union Lodge No. 291 were not addressed by this order.
