MEMORANDUM **
Lowell T. Cormier and Patsy D. Cormier appeal pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in favor of defendants in the Cormiers’ action alleging fraud under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo, Steele v. Hosp. Corp. of America, 36 F.3d 69 , 70 (9th Cir.1994), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on the Cormiers’ RICO claims against Snohomish County Superior Court Judges Thorpe and Wynne because they are entitled to judicial immunity. See Ashelman v. Pope, 793 F.2d 1072, 1075 (9th Cir.1986) (en banc).
The district court properly granted summary judgment on the Cormiers’ claims against Krista White because they did not include any allegations against her in their complaint and failed to provide any evidence of her wrongdoing on summary judgment. See River City Markets, Inc. v. Fleming Foods West, Inc., 960 F.2d 1458, 1464 (9th Cir.1992) (holding that summary judgment is proper where plaintiffs failed to meet their burden of establishing all the elements of a RICO claim).
