G.D. MASSEY, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. John P. COONEY, United States Magistrate Judge, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 01-35123.
    D.C. No. CV-00-03085-ALA.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted Aug. 13, 2001.
    
    Decided Aug. 30, 2001.
    Before HAWKINS, TASHIMA, and GOULD, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

G.D. Massey appeals pro se the district court’s judgment dismissing his action against Magistrate Judge John P. Cooney seeking injunctive relief, removal from office, and monetary damages arising from Cooney’s actions as magistrate judge in a prior case. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo dismissals based on judicial immunity, Moore v. Brewster, 96 F.3d 1240, 1243 (9th Cir.1996), and we affirm.

Dismissal was proper because Massey’s allegations, even if true, do not deprive Judge Cooney of absolute judicial immunity. See id. at 1243-44.

AFFIRMED.
