Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 2:20-cv-02346-GMN-VCF

v. MEMORANDUM* JEROME T. TAO; BONNIE BULLA; MICHAEL P. GIBBONS,

Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada Gloria M. Navarro, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted August 17, 2022**

Before: S.R. THOMAS, PAEZ, and LEE, Circuit Judges.

Ali Shahrokhi appeals from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42

U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional claims. We have jurisdiction under 28

U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for failure to state a claim under

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) and based on absolute immunity. Milstein

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). v. Cooley, 257 F.3d 1004, 1007 (9th Cir. 2001). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Shahrokhi’s action as barred by

judicial immunity. See Duvall v. County of Kitsap, 260 F.3d 1124, 1133 (9th Cir.

2001) (describing factors relevant to the determination of whether an act is judicial

in nature and subject to absolute judicial immunity); see also Swift v. California,

384 F.3d 1184, 1188 (9th Cir. 2004) (“It is well established that state judges are

entitled to absolute immunity for their judicial acts.”).

AFFIRMED.
