   MEMORANDUM

Derek Todd appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that Judge Ichikawa denied Todd visitation with his son during Easter in violation of Todd’s constitutional rights. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). Barren v. Harrington, 152 F.3d 1193, 1194 (9th Cir.1998) (order). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Todd’s action because Judge Ichikawa is 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).

AFFIRMED.
