Daniel Acedo v. Francis Abalos

NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JUN 30 2017 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT DANIEL ACEDO, No. 16-56534 Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 3:15-cv-02532-H-BLM v. MEMORANDUM* FRANCIS ABALOS; et al., Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California Marilyn L. Huff, District Judge, Presiding Submitted June 26, 2017 ** Before: PAEZ, BEA, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges. California state prisoner Daniel Acedo appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging an access-to- courts claim. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). Barren v. Harrington, 152 F.3d * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). 1193, 1194 (9th Cir. 1998) (order). We affirm. The district court properly dismissed Acedo’s action because Acedo failed to allege facts sufficient to show that he suffered an actual injury due to defendants’ alleged conduct. See Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 348-349, 351 (1996) (to state an access-to-courts claim, a prisoner must allege “actual injury”). The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Acedo’s Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) motion because Acedo failed to establish any basis for relief. See Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262-63 (9th Cir. 1993) (setting forth standard of review and grounds for relief from judgment under Rule 60(b)). Acedo’s request for judicial notice (Dkt. Entry No. 14-2) is denied as unnecessary to the extent that it requests judicial notice of documents filed in the district court. To the extent Acedo requests judicial notice of documents that were not filed in the district court, we do not consider evidence introduced for the first time on appeal. See Kirshner v. Uniden Corp. of Am., 842 F.2d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1988). 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). AFFIRMED. 2 16-56534
