MEMORANDUM **

Cyrus Y. Kim appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action alleging violations of his constitutional right to petition the government and state tort law. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Olsen v. Idaho State Bd. of Med., 363 F.3d 916, 922 (9th Cir.2004) (judicial immunity); Fry v. Melaragno, 939 F.2d 832, 835 (9th Cir.1991) (absolute immunity). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed the claims against Assistant United States Attorney Stahman on the basis of prosecu-torial immunity. See Fry, 939 F.2d at 837 (government attorneys have absolute immunity from damages liability for performing acts “intimately associated with the judicial phase” of litigation).

The district court properly dismissed the claims against Judge Zilly on the basis of judicial immunity. See Meek v. County of Riverside, 183 F.3d 962, 965 (9th Cir.1999) (explaining that “[a] judge is not deprived of immunity because he takes actions which are in error, are done maliciously, or are in excess of his authority”).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Kim’s motion to reconsider because Kim failed to show grounds warranting reconsideration. See Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cnty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262-63 (9th Cir.1993) (setting forth the standard of review and grounds for reconsideration).

Kim’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
