UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 05-7706
BRIAN K. HONOUR,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
versus
ROY COOPER, NC Attorney General; JOHN A.
MAXFIELD, Wake County Sheriff Department,
Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Malcolm J. Howard, Senior
District Judge. (CA-05-353)
Submitted: March 30, 2006 Decided: April 7, 2006
Before TRAXLER, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Brian K. Honour, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Brian K. Honour appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. In his
appellate brief, Honour asserts numerous claims, none of which
merit relief. For example, Honour challenges the judicial rules
limiting review to the issues raised in the informal brief and
imposing page limits on appellate briefs. We reject these claims.
To the extent that Honour objects to the handling of his prior
cases by judges and court staff, we note that both courts and their
staff are entitled to judicial immunity. See Cleaving v. Saxner,
474 U.S. 193, 200 (1985); Mitchell v. McBryde,
944 F.2d 229, 230
(5th Cir. 1991). Furthermore, Honour’s conclusory claims of
conspiracy do not state a claim for relief. Phillips v. Mashburn,
746 F.2d 782, 785 (11th Cir. 1984). We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant
Honour’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, we affirm.
Honour’s motions for appointment of counsel and for a certificate
of appealability are denied. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
