for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. H-02-CV-1799

--------------------

Before JOLLY, WIENER, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: *

Massood Danesh Pajooh, former federal prisoner # 72872-079 and

a detainee at the Tensas Parish Det ention Center, appeals the** Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents , 403 U.S. 388 (1971).

2 dismissal of his Bivens ** action for lack of subj ect matter

jurisdiction and for failure to state a claim. F E D

. R. C I V

. P.

12(b)(1), (6). Pajooh challenges the district court’s dismissal of

his claims against the district court judge, the judges of this

court, the Assistant United States Attorney, and his retained

counsel. He also argues that the district court should have

granted declara tory relief and should have released him on bond

pending the Bivens action.

Pa jooh does not brief the issue of the district court’s

dismissal of his claims against the district court case manager as

barred by absolute immunity; the issue of the dismissal of his

claims against the Department of Justice and the federal courts; or

the issue of the dismissal of his conspiracy claims. Those claims

a re abandoned. S ee Yohey v. Collins

, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th

Cir. 1993); F ED

. R. A PP

. P. 28(a)(9). Pajooh has also abandoned the

issue of the court’s dismissal of his claims for damages as barred

by Heck v. Humphrey , 512 U.S. 477 (1994).

The district court did not err in dismissing Pajooh’s claims

against the district court judge, the judges of this court, and the

Assistant United States Attor ney as barred by absolute immunity.

See Mays v. Sudderth

, 97 F.3d 107, 110-11 (5th Cir. 1996); Boyd v.

Biggers , 31 F.3d 279, 284-85 (5th Cir. 1994).3

Pursuant to Heck

, 512 U.S. 477 (1994), Pajooh’s claims against

retained counsel Kuniansky have not accrued. Stephenson v. Reno

,

28 F.3d 26, 27-28 (5th Cir. 1994). Moreover, retained trial

counsel was not acting unde r color of state law. S ee Mills v.

Criminal Dist. Court No. 3 , 837 F.2d 677, 679 (5th Cir. 1988).

Declaratory relief is not available to attack a federal as the

improper result of a violation of civil rights. S ee Johnson v.

Onion

, 761 F.2d 224, 225-26 (5th Cir. 1985). The issue of Pajooh’s

release pending the Bivens action is moot. Pajooh’s motion for a

change of venue is DENIED.

AFFIRMED.
