Dana Judd and Gregory Curfman appeal pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing their action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968 .

The district court properly dismissed the claims against the state court judges because they are entitled to absolute immunity for actions undertaken in their judicial capacities.
