OPINION

I. OVERVIEW
We took this case en banc to clarify the narrow scope of absolute immunity after Supreme Court decisions have takenan approach that is fundamentally inconsistent with the rea-soning of our earlier circuit authority involving immunity forfamily-service social workers.
Compare Babcock v. Tyler 
,884 F.2d 497, 502-03 (9th Cir. 1989),
with Kalina v. Fletcher
