Before: BRUNETTI, HALL, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

Arthur Stigall appeals pro se from the district court's 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) dismissal of his action alleging that the San Juan Unified School District violated his "spiritual, contract, and property rights and privileges" in connection with his application for a full-time teaching position when the District allegedly required him to join the teacher's union and participate in a retirement program in order to qualify for the position.

The district court did not err by dismissing Stigall's action because the School District is immune from suit under the Eleventh Amendment. See Belanger v. Madera Unified School Dist., 963 F.2d 248, 251 (9th Cir.1992).

AFFIRMED.
