Bugoni

MEMORANDUM **

Piero A. Bugoni, a former Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing for failure to state a claim his action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging constitutional violations against public defenders appointed to represent him and mental health professionals appointed to diagnose and treat him in criminal actions brought against him in state court. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo a district court’s dismissal of a complaint for failure to state a claim. See Miller v. Yokohama Tire Corp., 358 F.3d 616, 619 (9th Cir.2004). We may affirm on any basis supported by the record even if the district court did not rely on that basis. See United States v. State of Wash., 969 F.2d 752, 755 (9th Cir.1992). We affirm.

The district court did not err when it dismissed Bugoni’s action. See Wong v. Bell, 642 F.2d 359, 361-62 (9th Cir.1981) (district court has authority under Fed. R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6) to dismiss sua sponte for failure to state a claim). The public defenders did not act under color of state law when they represented Bugoni, see Miranda v. Clark County, Nev., 319 F.3d 465, 468 (9th Cir.2003) (en banc)…
