Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Mark W. Dobronski appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his action against the State of Arizona, the Arizona Commission on Judicial Conduct ("CJC") and various court officials, brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and other statutes. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, and may affirm on any basis supported by the record. Ove v. Gwinn, 264 F.3d 817, 821 (9th Cir.2001).
The district court correctly dismissed, on Eleventh Amendment grounds, Dobronski's claims against the State of Arizona and the CJC, as well as the claims against Stott and Petroff in their capacity as CJC officers. See Snoeck v. Brussa, 153 F.3d 984, 987 (9th Cir.1998). The district court correctly dismissed Dobronski's claims against Stott and Petroff in their personal capacity because judicial immunity is extended to "certain others who perform functions closely associated with the judicial process." Moore v. Brewster, 96 F.3d 1240, 1244 (9th Cir.1996) (internal citations omitted).
The district court also properly dismissed the claims against Dicus and Martinez because absolute quasi-judicial immunity may also extend to "court clerks and other non-judicial officers for purely administrative acts — acts which taken out of context would appear ministerial, but when viewed in context are actually a part of the judicial function." In re Castillo, 297 F.3d 940, 952 (9th Cir.2002) (citing Moore, 96 F.3d at 1244m). The district court was not required to accept as true Dobronski's allegations that Dicus and Martinez criminally tampered with evidence and conspired with Stott and Petroff to deprive him of his constitutional rights because those allegations were conclusory and based on unreasonable inferences. See Cholla Ready Mix, Inc. v. Civish, 382 F.3d 969, 973 (9th Cir.2004).
Dobronski's remaining contentions lack merit.
AFFIRMED.
