ALI SHAHROKHI, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. JEROME T. TAO; BONNIE BULLA; MICHAEL P. GIBBONS, Defendants-Appellees.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada Gloria M. Navarro, District Judge, Presiding D.C. No. 2:20-cv-02346-GMN-VCF
Before: S.R. THOMAS, PAEZ, and LEE, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM
Ali Shahrokhi appeals from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for failure to state a claim under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) and based on absolute immunity. Milstein v. Cooley, 257 F.3d 1004, 1007 (9th Cir. 2001). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Shahrokhi's action as barred by judicial immunity. See Duvall v. County of Kitsap, 260 F.3d 1124, 1133 (9th Cir. 2001) (describing factors relevant to the determination of whether an act is judicial in nature and subject to absolute judicial immunity); see also Swift v. California, 384 F.3d 1184, 1188 (9th Cir. 2004) ("It is well established that state judges are entitled to absolute immunity for their judicial acts.").
AFFIRMED.
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
