JENNELL PARKS; et al.,                           MEMORANDUM *

               Defendants - Appellees.

                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Eastern District of California
                    Lawrence K. Karlton, District Judge, Presiding

                             Submitted January 11, 2010 **

Before:        BEEZER, TROTT, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

       Sharon A. Martin appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment

dismissing her action alleging that defendants conspired to violate her

constitutional rights in relation to alleged zoning violations on her property. We

have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Holt v. Castaneda,

832 F.2d 123, 124 (9th Cir. 1987), and we affirm.

        The district court properly dismissed the claims against defendants Hollows,

Candee, Mize, and Scott because they are entitled to judicial immunity based on

alleged acts performed in their official capacities. See Olsen v. Idaho State Bd. of

Med., 363 F.3d 916, 922 (9th Cir. 2004) (“Absolute immunity is generally

accorded to judges and prosecutors functioning in their official capacities.”).

        The district court properly dismissed the remainder of the claims for failure

to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. See Bermudez v. Duenas, 936
F.2d 1064, 1066 (9th Cir. 1991) (per curiam) (“To state a section 1983 claim, a

plaintiff must allege facts which show a deprivation of a right, privilege, or

immunity secured by the Constitution or federal law . . . .”); Cholla Ready Mix,

Inc. v. Civish, 382 F.3d 969, 973 (9th Cir. 2004) (stating that a court is not required

to accept as true a complaint’s conclusory allegations, unwarranted deductions of

fact, or unreasonable inferences) (citation omitted).

        Martin’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

        We deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See Bauman v. U.S. Dist.

determine whether the “extraordinary” remedy of mandamus is warranted).
