Sharon Martin v. Jennell Parks

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Sharon A. Martin appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing her action alleging that defendants conspired to violate her constitutional rights in relation to alleged zoning violations on her property. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Holt v. Castaneda, 832 F.2d 123, 124 (9th Cir. 1987), and we affirm.

The district court properly dismissed the claims against defendants Hollows, Candee, Mize, and Scott because they are entitled to judicial immunity based on alleged acts performed in them official capacities. See Olsen v. Idaho State Bd. of Med., 363 F.3d 916, 922 (9th Cir. 2004) (“Absolute immunity is generally accorded to judges and prosecutors functioning in their official capacities.”).

The district court properly dismissed the remainder of the claims for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. See Bermudez v. Duenas, 936 F.2d 1064, 1066 (9th Cir. 1991) (per curiam) (“To state a section 1983 claim, a plaintiff must allege facts which show a deprivation of a right, privilege, or immunity secured by the Constitution or federal law....”); Cholla Ready Mix, Inc. v. Civish, 382 F.3d 969, 973 (9th Cir. 2004) (stating that a court is not required to accept as true a complaint’s conclusory allegations, unwarranted deductions of fact, or unreasonable inferences) (citation omitted).

Martin’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

We deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See Bauman v. U.S. Dist. Court, 557 F.2d 650, 654-55 (9th Cir. 1977) (discussing five guidelines to determine *455 whether the “extraordinary” remedy of mandamus is warranted).

AFFIRMED.
