ORDER

KOZINSKI, Chief Judge:

Complainant, a pro se litigant, filed four misconduct complaints and seven supplements against four judges assigned to his civil rights cases in district court. One of the complaints must be dismissed because it only challenges the merits of a judge’s rulings. See 28 U.S.C. § 352(b)(1)(A)(ii); Judicial-Conduct Rule 11(c)(1)(B). This complaint also alleges unspecified “judicial corruption,” but such a conclusory allegation can’t support a charge of judicial misconduct. See In re Complaint of Judicial Misconduct, 569 F.3d 1093, 1093 (9th Cir. 2009).
