Department, Defendants-Appellees.

No. 86-1603.

MEMORANDUM**

Randall Wiideman, a Nevada state prisoner, appeals pro se and in forma pauperis the dismissal for failure to state a claim of his section 1983 action against a Nevada state court judge, two other individuals, the Las Vegas Police Department, the City of Las Vegas, Clark County, and the State of Nevada. Wiideman alleges that the judge issued an invalid search warrant of Wiideman's property in violation of his constitutional rights. He alleges that the other defendants conspired to deprive him of his civil rights without support of any underlying detail.

The judgment is affirmed. Because the state judge was acting within his jurisdiction when he issued the challenged warrant, he is immune from section 1983 liability. See Ashelman v. Pope, 793 F.2d 1072, 1075 (9th Cir.1986) (en banc). His conclusory allegations do not establish a section 1983 claim. See Aldabe v. Aldabe, 616 F.2d 1089, 1092 (9th Cir.1980).

The judgment is AFFIRMED.
