PER CURIAM. Peter Wright appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his civil action raising claims related to an unsuccessful action he brought in state court. After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that dismissal was proper. See Mireles v. Waco, 502 U.S. 9, 11-12 (1991) (per curiam) (discussing judicial immunity); Harris v. Mo. Court of Appeals, 787 F.2d 427, 429 (8th Cir. 1986) (stating that state courts possess Eleventh Amendment immunity). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

1 The Honorable John R. Tunheim, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Steven E. Rau, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
