United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Filed July 12, 2006.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Tevis R. Ignacio, pro se, for the plaintiff-appellant.

Before: SCHROEDER, Chief Judge, TROTT and AKLEINFELD, Circuit Judges.


TROTT, Circuit Judge:

Pro se appellant, Tevis R. Ignacio, appeals the district court's dismissal of his complaint alleging that all the judges from the Ninth Circuit, other federal and state judges, public officials, and certain private individuals, conspired to dismiss Ignacio's previous lawsuits. We affirm the district court and hold, under the "rule of necessity," that we are not disqualified from deciding Ignacio's appeal.
