How have the courts treated a motion to disqualify a district judge and a magistrate judge?

The district court properly dismissed the action on the ground that plaintiffs' claims were barred by the doctrine of judicial immunity. See id. at 1388, 1390 (stating that judges are entitled to absolute immunity from civil liability for damages and that court clerks have absolute quasi-judicial immunity from civil liability when they perform tasks that are an integral part of the judicial process); see also Franceschi v. Schwartz, 57 F.3d 828, 830 (9th Cir.1995) (per curiam) (stating that municipal court commissioners performing judge-like functions are entitled to absolute immunity from civil liability for damages)

We reject the plaintiffs' argument that the district court abused its discretion by denying plaintiffs' motions to disqualify the district judge and the magistrate judge. See Thomassen v. United States, 835 F.2d 727, 732 (9th Cir.1987).
