1Opinion of the Court
ALARCON, Circuit Judge:
The novel question presented to us in this appeal is whether the district court had the jurisdiction to refer the merits of the plaintiff’s claim to a United States magis*747trate under 28 U.S.C. § 636 (1982). Because we determine that the claims at issue in this case do not involve conditions of confinement, we reverse the judgment of the district court insofar as it purported to refer a claim that does not invoke a condition of confinement to a magistrate for an evidentiary hearing on the merits.
We must also decide whether judges are immune from liability for violations…
