MEMORANDUM**

2
Shong-Ching Tong appeals pro se the district court's judgment dismissing Tong's civil rights action against:  (1) Justice Paul Turner of the California Court of Appeal;  (2) Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Coleman A. Swart;  (3) Daniel P. Potter, Chief Deputy of the Clerk's Office of the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District;  (4) Philip M. Saeta, a retired state court judge;  (5) the State of California;  and (6) the County of Los Angeles.

3
We reject Tong's assertion that the district court improperly denied Tong's motions to disqualify the district judge and the magistrate judge.  See Datagate, Inc. v. Hewlett-Packard Co., 941 F.2d 864, 870-71 (9th Cir.1991) (recusal motion reviewed for abuse of discretion).

4
We affirm the district court's dismissal of Tong's federal claims with prejudice and Tong's supplemental state law claims without prejudice for the reasons set forth in the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation filed February 1, 1996, which the district judge adopted in full in an order filed March 12, 1996.
