Randall Rollins alleges that the district court improperly granted the Defendants’ motions to dismiss, which terminated his case against several Texas judges, the State of Texas, the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct, and a county attorney. The district court held variously that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the claims due to sovereign immunity and because Rollins had not demonstrated standing for his claims.

Additionally, the court determined that judicial immunity applied to bar any claims against the judges.

After review of the briefs and record, we conclude that the district court thoroughly considered the case brought by Rollins, fairly considered its jurisdiction and the defenses to the claims asserted, and committed no reversible error in its decision. Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court essentially for the reasons stated in its thorough, well- reasoned opinion.
