The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Michael B. Williams, a civil detainee confined at Coalinga State Hospital
pursuant to California’s Sexually Violent Predator Act, appeals pro se from the
district court’s judgment dismissing his action alleging that defendants violated the
Thirteenth Amendment and the Fair Labor Standards Act. We have jurisdiction
under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for failure to state a claim
under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000),
and 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), Barren v. Harrington, 152 F.3d 1193, 1194 (9th Cir.
1998) (order). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Williams’s action because the
allegations in his amended complaint did not “contain[ ] enough facts to state a
claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 341-42
(9th Cir. 2010) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted); see also U.S.
Const. amend. XIII, § 1 (prohibiting involuntarily servitude); Gilbreath v. Cutter
Biological, Inc., 931 F.2d 1320, 1324-25 (9th Cir. 1991) (discussing economic
reality test to consider for determining whether an employer-employee relationship
exists).
We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on
appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009) (per curiam).
2 13-15082
Williams’s motion filed on March 6, 2013 is denied as moot.
AFFIRMED.
