Francis Scott Clement, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that prison officials retaliated against him in violation of his right to petition the government for redress of grievances. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 815 (9th Cir.1994) (per curiam), and affirm, see Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 449 (9th Cir.2000).

AFFIRMED.
