ORDER AND JUDGMENT1

1
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal.  See Fed.  R.App. P. 34(a);  10th Cir.  R. 34.1.9.  The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

2
This is an appeal from an order dismissing a civil rights action filed against two state court judges who presided over a case involving plaintiff J.C. Berry.  Mr. Berry contended the two judges conspired to convict him of a crime.  Judges are absolutely immune from liability for damages that allegedly arise out of acts performed in their judicial capacity.  Van Sickle v. Holloway, 791 F.2d 1431, 1435-36 (10th Cir.1986).

AFFIRMED.

 This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel.  The court generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments;  nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of the court's General Order filed November 29, 1993.  151 F.R.D. 470
