MEMORANDUM **

James W. and Judy L. Keenan appeal from a district court order affirming the bankruptcy court’s dismissal of their complaint in an adversary proceeding against the bankruptcy trustee for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted because, inter alia, the trustee was protected by the doctrine of quasi-judicial immunity.

Neary (In re Strand), 875 F.3d 854 , 857 (9th Cir.2004). We affirm.

The bankruptcy court properly determined that the trustee is entitled to quasi-judicial immunity for the actions alleged in the complaint. See Curry v.

Because we affirm dismissal on these grounds, we do not reach the arguments on appeal that concern alternative grounds for dismissal.…
