MEMORANDUM**
Lee D. Wight appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that the California Board of Dental Examiners violated his due process rights in state proceedings in which his license to practice dentistry was revoked. We reject Wight's contentions that the Board of Dental Examiners is not entitled to Eleventh Amendment immunity and that the individual board members are not entitled to absolute immunity. See Hirsh v. Justices of the Supreme Court, 67 F.3d 708, 715 (9th Cir. 1995). We further conclude Wight was provided with sufficient due process during the license revocation proceedings. See Logan v. Zimmerman Brush Co., 455 U.S. 422, 428 (1988); see also, Mishler v. Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners, 896 F.2d 408 (9th Cir. 1990). Accordingly, the district court is
AFFIRMED.
