Memorandum**
Marquita Denise Leathem, Robert Leathem, Sharon A. Martin, Clifford Murphy, and Betty June Smith, appeal pro se the district court's dismissal of their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Denton v. Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 33 (1992), and affirm.
Appellants contend the district court erred when it dismissed their action on the grounds of absolute and quasi-judicial immunity as well as mootness. Appellants insist that their allegations state federal claims. We disagree for the reasons stated by the district court.
