v.
MEMORANDUM *
OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY; et al.,
Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Oregon
Michael R. Hogan, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted October 25, 2011 **
Before: TROTT, GOULD, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.
Mark A. Salleng appeals from the district court’s judgment dismissing his
employment action against Oregon State University and some of its employees.
We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Leong v.
Potter, 347 F.3d 117, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003). We affirm.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
The district court properly dismissed Salleng’s retaliation claim relating to
his participation in Brown v. Oregon State University, for failure to exhaust
because that claim was not “‘like or reasonably related to’” the allegations in
Salleng’s administrative charges, nor did it fall “within the scope of an [agency]
investigation that reasonably could be expected to grow out of the allegations.” Id.
at 1122 (setting forth standard for exhausted claims) (citation omitted).
We do not consider Salleng’s remaining claims. See Cook v. Schriro, 538
F.3d 1000, 1014 n. 5 (9th Cir. 2008) (claims not raised on appeal are deemed
abandoned).
AFFIRMED.
