   MEMORANDUM

Jimmie Harold Caudle, Jr., appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional violations arising from two alleged incidents of assault, battery, unlawful arrest, and malicious prosecution as barred by the doctrine of res judicata. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Stewart v. U.S. Bancorp, 297 F.3d 953, 956 (9th Cir.2002). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed the action as barred by the doctrine of res judicata because Caudle has already litigated his claims against defendants and their privies in state court. See Caudle v. Bonneville County, No. CV-2006-1464, slip op. at 8 (Idaho Dist.Ct. Apr. 25, 2007); Caudle v. Bonneville County, No. CV-2006-2581, slip op. at 5 (Idaho Dist.Ct. Sept. 27, 2007); Caudle v. Bonneville County, No. CV-2007-3068, slip op. at 6 (Idaho Dist.Ct. Jan. 25, 2008); see also Ticor Title Co. v. Stanion, 144 Idaho 119, 157 P.3d 613, 618 (2007) (describing elements of res judicata under Idaho law).

Caudle’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

Appellees’ request for attorney’s fees and costs on appeal is denied.

AFFIRMED.
