to the city itself. There are, however, no personal immunities available vicariously or otherwise to municipal actors under § 1983. Leatherman v. Tarrant County Narcotics Unit, 507 U.S. 163, 166, 113 S.Ct. 1160, 122 L.Ed.2d 517 (1993). It appears that the district court also applied state statutory immunities for child abuse investigations to the federal constitutional claims and concluded that the City is immune from a § 1983 action under a state immunity statute. Again, the district court erred. Immunity under § 1983 is governed by federal law; state law cannot provide immunity from suit for federal civil rights violations. Martinez v. California, 444 U.S. 277, 284, 100 S.Ct. 553, 62 L.Ed.2d 481 (1980); Good v. Dauphin County Social Serv., 891 F.2d 1087, 1090-91 (3d Cir.1989) (<HOLDING>). In sum, the City of Escondido has the benefit
holding that a state university is not a person within the meaning of  1983 and therefore is not subject to suits brought under  1983 recognizing legislative immunity of state legislators in  1983 suits for both damage and equitable relief recognizing that under texas law governmental immunity embraces two principles immunity from liability and immunity from suit holding that suits under 42 usc  1983 do not override state immunity holding that state law providing immunity from suit for child abuse investigators has no application to suits under  1983
