ILAW v. KOH USDC (2021)

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Miguel ILAW, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Lucy H. KOH, USDC, Judge, Defendant-Appellee.

No. 20-16553

Decided: August 25, 2021

Before: SILVERMAN, CHRISTEN, and LEE, Circuit Judges.

Miguel Ilaw, San Jose, CA, Pro Se.

MEMORANDUM **

Miguel Ilaw appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging civil rights violations stemming from Ilaw's employment discrimination lawsuit brought in 2011. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). Watison v. Carter, 668 F.3d 1108, 1112 (9th Cir. 2012). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Ilaw'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).

Ilaw's request that further proceedings take place only in this court, set forth in the opening brief, is denied.

AFFIRMED.
