No. 18-40771 He sued three of his former colleagues at ICE, the Commission, and two former coworkers at the Commission on various theories, including a Bivens remedy against the federal defendants and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the state defen- dants. He claimed retaliation, sex discrimination, and multiple violations of his civil rights and conversion of property.

The magistrate judge issued a comprehensive 27-page Report and Recommendation that recommended dismissal of all claims. The district court adopted the recommendation in a judgment of dismissal. Ybarra appeals as to some of the denied claims.

We have reviewed the briefs, pertinent parts of the record, and the applicable law and have heard the arguments of counsel. The judgment of dismissal is AFFIRMED, essentially for the reasons amply explained by the magistrate judge as to the issues that have been appealed.
