Before:      CANBY, FRIEDLAND, and R. NELSON, Circuit Judges.

      Raymond J. Conroy appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment

, 749-50 (9th Cir. 2009)

(Eleventh Amendment immunity); Sadoski v. Mosley, 

, 1077 n.1

(9th Cir. 2006) (judicial immunity); Resnick v. Hayes, 

, 447 (9th Cir.

2000) (failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A). We affirm.

      The district court properly dismissed Conroy’s action because defendants are

immune from suit. See 

(explaining that the State has

Eleventh Amendment immunity); Ashelman v. Pope, 

, 1075 (9th Cir.

1986) (a judge is subject to liability only when “he acts in the clear absence of all

jurisdiction, or performs an act that is not judicial in nature” (citations and internal

quotation marks omitted)).

      AFFIRMED.
