MEMORANDUM**


2
Lex Herbert appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985 action against the state of Montana and local officials under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6).   He contends the district court erred by:  1) dismissing his complaint for failure to state a claim;  2) referring the matter to the magistrate judge;  3) refusing to enter a default judgment against the state;  and 4) refusing to sanction one of the prosecutors.   We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.   We review de novo the district court's dismissal of a pro se complaint, see McGuckin v. Smith, 974 F.2d 1050, 1054 (9th Cir.1992), and we affirm for the reasons stated in the magistrate judge's well-reasoned report and recommendation and the district court's order adopting said recommendation.

AFFIRMED.
