MEMORANDUM **

Murray A. Woodworth, a federal prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s dismissal of his action alleging a work-related injury, removal from his UNICOR job, and transfer to a lower-paying job in the prison. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 816 (9th Cir. 1994) (per curiam), and affirm.

We agree with the district court that 18 U.S.C. § 4126 is Woodworth’s exclusive remedy for exposure to toxic chemicals while working at a prison job. See United States v. Demko, 385 U.S. 149, 152-53, 87 S.Ct. 382, 17 L.Ed.2d 258 (1966); Vander v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 268 F.3d 661, 663 (9th Cir. 2001).

The district court properly dismissed Woodworth’s claims concerning removal from his UNICOR job and transfer to a lower-paying position because he has neither a liberty nor a property interest in his prison job. See Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472, 483-84, 115 S.Ct. 2293, 132 L.Ed.2d 418 (1995); Board of Regents v. Roth, 408 U.S. 564, 577, 92 S.Ct. 2701, 33 L.Ed.2d 548 (1972).

AFFIRMED.
