Filed November 27, 2007.
Juanard Robinson, Vacaville, CA, pro se.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, Garland E. Burrell, Jr., Chief Judge, Presiding. D.C. No. CV-04-02082-GEB/KJM.
Before: TROTT, W. FLETCHER and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
California state prisoner Juanard Robinson appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing for failure to state a claim his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging defendant Cry violated his due process rights by denying his grievance. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A for failure to state a claim, Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000), and we affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Robinson's action because his claim that he was not allowed to file a citizen's complaint on behalf of another inmate failed to identify a liberty interest giving rise to due process protections. See Ramirez v. Galaza, 334 F.3d 850, 860 (9th Cir. 2003) ("[I]nmates lack a separate constitutional entitlement to a specific prison grievance procedure.")
AFFIRMED.
