MEMORANDUM **

Joseph Cerny, a Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s judgment for defendants in Cerny’s action alleging disability discrimination in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 815 (9th Cir. 1994) (per curiam), and we affirm.1

The district court properly dismissed Cerny’s damages claims because “few things implicate the validity of continued confinement more directly than the allegedly improper denial of parole.” Butterfield v. Bail, 120 F.3d 1023, 1024 (9th Cir. 1997). Because dismissals under Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 487, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994), are without prejudice to renewal, we construe the district court’s judgment as a dismissal without prejudice. See Trimble v. City of Santa Rosa, 49 F.3d 583, 585 (9th Cir. 1995) (per curiam).

The district court properly considered and granted summary judgment on Cerny’s claims for declaratory and injunctive relief. See Bogovich v. Sandoval, 189 F.3d 999, 1003 (9th Cir. 1999).

The district court properly considered whether the parole eligibility policies of the Washington Department of Corrections and the Intermediate Service Review Board were “reasonably related to legitimate penological interests.” See Gates v. Rowland, 39 F.3d 1439, 1447 (9th Cir. 1994) (citing Turner v. Safley, 482 U.S. 78, 89, 107 S.Ct. 2254, 96 L.Ed.2d 64 (1987).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by imposing a sanction on Cerny for his failure to demonstrate candor to the court in stating that he had not filed prior lawsuits in federal court while a prisoner. See Estrada v. Speno & Cohen, 244 F.3d 1050, 1058 (9th Cir. 2001).

AFFIRMED.
