Aldridge v. Gomez
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Raymond Keith Aldridge, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment for defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging due process violations under the Fourteenth Amendment. 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). We must affirm on any basis supported by the record. Lopez v.
