MEMORANDUM **

Raymond Robinson appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that Judge David Rubin conspired with Officer Brian Cornell to violate Robinson’s due process rights by relying on Cornell’s testimony during a state court infraction proceeding. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Knievel v. ESPN, 393 F.3d 1068, 1072 (9th Cir.2005). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Robinson’s action because defendants are immune from liability. See Mireles v. Waco, 502 U.S. 9, 9, 11-12, 112 S.Ct. 286, 116 L.Ed.2d 9 (1991) (per curiam) (judges are absolutely immune from suits for damages based on their judicial conduct except when performing nonjudicial functions or acting in the complete absence of jurisdiction); Briscoe v. LaHue, 460 U.S. 325, 342-43, 103 S.Ct. 1108, 75 L.Ed.2d 96 (1983) (police officers who testify in judicial proceedings are absolutely immune from civil liability).

AFFIRMED.
