   MEMORANDUM

Yan Sui and Pei-Yu Yang appeal pro se from the district court’s order dismissing their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging federal and state law claims against, among others, a bankruptcy judge and the chapter 7 trustee representing Sui’s bankruptcy estate. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for abuse of discretion a court’s imposition of sanctions under its inherent power. Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 55, 111 S.Ct. 2123, 115 L.Ed.2d 27 (1991). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by imposing terminating sanctions under its “inherent equitable powers to dismiss actions for ... abusive litigation practices.” TeleVideo Sys. Inc. v. Heidenthal, 826 F.2d 915, 916 (9th Cir. 1987).

We reject as without merit plaintiffs’ contentions that the district court demonstrated bias.

Appellants’ request for judicial notice (Docket Entry No. 12) is denied.

AFFIRMED.
