MEMORANDUM*


2
Anthony J. Bator appeals pro se the district court's Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6) dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional and state law violations by defendants.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.  We review de novo a Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal, see Johnson v. Knowles, 113 F.3d 1114, 1117 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 118 S.Ct. 559, 139 L.Ed.2d 401 (1997), and we affirm.


3
Bator contends that the district court erred in dismissing his action for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.  This contention lacks merit.


4
Construing Bator's complaint liberally, we agree with the district court that Bator's vague and conclusory allegations are insufficient to state any claim that would entitle him to relief.  See Richards v. Harper, 864 F.2d 85, 88 (9th Cir.1988).  Because it is absolutely clear that Bator can prove no set of facts to support his claim, the district court did not err when it dismissed his claim without leave to amend.  See Cahill v. Liberty Mutual Ins. Co., 80 F.3d 336, 339 (9th Cir.1996).


5
AFFIRMED.



**
 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.  See Fed.  R.App. P. 34(a);  9th Cir.  R. 34-4
