MEMORANDUM*

2
Kenneth J. Owen appeals pro se the district court's dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction over his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action challenging a decision of the California Supreme Court which denied his petition for writ of review of the decision of the Committee of Bar Examiners which found that Owen had failed the First Year Law Students' Examination.  We affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.  See Craig v. State Bar of California, No. 96-55396, slip op. 3591 (9th Cir.  April 17, 1998) (applying District of Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 476, 103 S.Ct. 1303, 75 L.Ed.2d 206 (1983));  see also Moore v. Brewster, 96 F.3d 1240, 1243 (9th Cir.1996);  Hirsh v. Justices of the Supreme Court of California, 67 F.3d 708, 714 (9th Cir.1995);  Rosenthal v. Justices of the Supreme Court of California, 910 F.2d 561, 567 (9th Cir.1990).
