MEMORANDUM **
Arizona inmate Edward Goldwater appeals pro se the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that his chiropractic license was improperly suspended while he was being held on first degree murder charges. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo dismissals pursuant to the screening provisions of the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) and 1915A. See Barren v. Harrington, 152 F.3d 1193, 1194 (9th Cir.1998) (order). We affirm the district court’s order of dismissal on absolute immunity grounds for the reasons stated in the district court’s order filed on January 20, 2000.
It is well established that we may affirm on any basis supported by the record, United States v. Washington, 969 F.2d 752, 755 (9th Cir.1992), and we find that the district court properly dismissed Goldwater’s claims for injunctive relief against the board members in their individual capacities because the pending chiropractic board proceedings satisfied all elements of the Younger abstention doctrine. See Middlesex County Ethics Comm. v. Garden State Bar Assoc., 457 U.S. 423, 431-32, 102 S.Ct. 2515, 73 L.Ed.2d 116 (1982); Hirsh v. Justices of Supreme Court of California, 67 F.3d 708, 712-13 (9th Cir.1995).
AFFIRMED.
