MEMORANDUM **

Kendel Vance and Amber Jensen appeal pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging injuries arising from child dependency proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Peterson v. California, 604 F.3d 1166, 1169 (9th Cir. 2010). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed the action against defendant Harris, a private attorney appointed by the court to represent Amber Jensen in the child dependency proceedings, because he did not act under color of state law. See Polk County v. Dodson, 454 U.S. 312, 318 n. 7, 102 S.Ct. 445, 70 L.Ed.2d 509 (1981) (noting that a private attorney, even one appointed by the court, does not act under the color of state law for purposes of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 when performing the traditional role of an attorney).

The Jensens’ remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
