MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

Robert Wooten appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that the defendants violated his First and Tenth Amendment rights by virtue of a California Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage in California. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo an order granting a motion to dismiss. Sacks v. Office of Foreign Assets Control, 466 F.3d 764, 770 (9th Cir. 2006). We affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.

We do not consider Wooten's arguments raised for the first time on appeal. See Bias v. Moynihan, 508 F.3d 1212, 1223 (9th Cir. 2007).

Wooten's remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
