Larry E. Belton, Sr., Plaintiff-appellant, v. Superior Court of California, Sacramento; Dorothy Brownvinson; Mable Rushin; Yorquincia Rushin; Carlb. Smith, Defendants-appellees, 81 F.3d 167 (9th Cir. 1996)
Annotate this CaseBefore: GOODWIN, WIGGINS and O'SCANNLAIN, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM**
California state prisoner Larry E. Belton, Sr. appeals pro se the district court's dismissal as frivolous of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against the Sacramento County Superior Court and two private attorneys. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm for the reasons stated in the magistrate judge's findings and recommendations filed October 27, 1994, which the district court adopted in full on February 14, 1995. Moreover, the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over Belton's action to the extent that he challenged prior decisions of the Sacramento County Superior Court vacating two default judgments in his favor and dismissing his action. See Branson v. Nott, 62 F.3d 287, 291 (9th Cir. 1995).
AFFIRMED.
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4. This case was originally ordered submitted with Belton v. Department of Veterans Affairs, Nos. 95-15683 and 95-16200. Upon further review, this case may be submitted separately
