MEMORANDUM **

Piero A. Bugoni appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment sua sponte dismissing his civil rights action against the state court judge and county prosecutor involved in state court proceedings against him. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review the district court’s judgment de novo. Barren v.

Hall, 341 F.3d 1148, 1154 (9th Cir.2003) (dismissal pursuant to Rooker-Feldman doctrine). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Bugoni’s civil rights action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (e)(2)(B)(ii) because the allegations in Bugoni’s amended complaint were too vague and conelusory to state a civil rights claim. See Ivey v. Bd. of Regents, 673 F.2d 266, 268 (9th Cir.1982).

To the extent Bugoni seeks federal court review and reversal of orders entered against him in Arizona state court, and raises constitutional claims that are “inextricably intertwined” with those state court decisions, the district court properly dismissed the action pursuant to the Rooker-Feldman doctrine.
