Singh

MEMORANDUM **

Rahul Singh appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment in his civil rights action alleging that he was denied tenure and a promotion in retaliation for complaining about gender discrimination. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo. Mpoyo v. Litton Electro-Optical Sys., 430 F.3d 985, 987 (9th Cir.2005) (res judicata); Fry v. Melaragno, 939 F.2d 832, 835 (9th Cir.1991) (absolute immunity); Satey v. JPMorgan Chase & Co., 521 F.3d 1087, 1090 (9th Cir.2008) (subject matter jurisdiction). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed the action against defendants Marlin, Weber, Hayhurst, and Reed based on the doctrine of res judicata. Singh may not relitigate whether these defendants re *316 taliated against him because those claims have already been litigated by the parties and their privies in state court and ultimately decided by the California courts in favor of defendants. See Singh v. Bd. of Trs. of the Cal. State Univ., No. D048076, slip op. at 8-11 (Cal. Ct.App. April 17, 2007); Singh v. Bd. of Trs. of the Cal. State Univ., No. S153042, slip op. at 1 (Cal. July 11, 2007); see also Kay v. City of Rancho Palos Verdes, 504 F.3d…
