The opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Johnny Angel Torres, a former Washington State prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915 and 1915A, his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that the Chair of the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board violated his constitutional rights by refusing to grant certain sentence credit. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo, Butterfield v. Bail, 120 F.3d 1023, 1024 (9th Cir.1997), and we affirm.
*517 The district court properly dismissed Torres’ action because Costa was absolutely immune from suit. See Sellars v. Pro-cunier, 641 F.2d 1295, 1303 (9th Cir.1981) (members of the parole board are entitled to absolute quasi-judicial immunity for performance of their duties). We reject Torres’ contention that the Supreme Court’s decision in Wilkinson v. Dotson, 544 U.S. 74 , 125 S.Ct. 1242 , 161 L.Ed.2d 253 (2005) alters this analysis.
Torres’ remaining contentions lack merit.
AFFIRMED.
