PER CURIAM:
Douglas Otto Fischer appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. The district court properly
dismissed the 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) claims on the ground that the defendants are
entitled to absolute immunity from such claims, and properly declined to exercise
supplemental jurisdiction over the related state law claims. Accordingly, we affirm.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
