MEMORANDUM**
Barbara and Ted Dauven appeal pro se the district court’s dismissal of their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action arising from a traffic citation and subsequent state court proceedings. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court’s dismissal, see Wyler Summit P’ship v. Turner Broad. Sys. Inc., 135 F.3d 658, 661 (9th Cir.1998), and we affirm.
Dismissal was proper because, to the extent the Dauvens’ claims would effectively require reversal of the judgment of the Washington County Justice Court, the claims are barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477,…
