MEMORANDUM**


2
Julian Ayrs appeals pro se the district court's denial of his request to file in forma pauperis his action against United States Bankruptcy Judge Arthur Greenwald under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of the Fed.  Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388, 397 (1971).  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291, and we affirm.


3
We agree with the district court that Ayrs's claims are barred by the doctrine of judicial immunity.  See Mullis v. United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Nevada, 828 F.2d 1385, 1394 (9th Cir. 1987), cert. denied, 486 U.S. 1040 (1988).  Judge Greenwald's actions in Ayrs' bankruptcy case were not outside his jurisdiction, and Ayrs is not entitled to declaratory or mandamus relief from the bankruptcy court's actions.  Dismissal of an in forma pauperis complaint is proper where the claims are legally frivolous and cannot be cured by amendment.  28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915; Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 327 (1989).  Therefore, the district court is

AFFIRMED.
