   MEMORANDUM

Richard D. Pomeroy appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against assistant district attorney Stephen B. Wallace. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Milstein v. Cooley, 257 F.3d 1004, 1007 (9th Cir.2001), and we affirm.

The district court properly concluded that Wallace is entitled to prosecutorial immunity for his act of initiating a criminal prosecution against Pomeroy. See id. at 1008 (“in initiating a prosecution and in presenting the State’s case, the prosecutor is immune from a civil suit for damages under § 1983”) (internal quotation and citation omitted). Contrary to Pomeroy’s contention that signing the information is a routine administrative function that is not entitled to absolute immunity, the act of signing the information falls squarely within the “the duties of the prosecutor in his role as advocate for the State [and] involve[s] actions preliminary to the initiation of a prosecution.” Buckley v. Fitzsimmons, 509 U.S. 259, 272, 113 S.Ct. 2606, 125 L.Ed.2d 209 (1993); see also Alaska R.Crim. P. 7(c) (requiring the criminal information initiating prosecution to include the prosecuting attorney’s signature).

Pomeroy’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

Pomeroy’s March 9, 2006, motion requesting relief on the basis of inherent constitutional violations is denied.

AFFIRMED.
