Pleasant v. Galaza
Pleasant v. Galaza
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Terry K. Pleasant, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging prison conditions violated his federal and state constitutional rights.
The district court properly dismissed the action without prejudice because Pleasant failed to exhaust his administrative remedies prior to filing suit. See Booth v. Churner, 532 U.S. 731, 741, 121 S.Ct. 1819, 149 L.Ed.2d 958 (2001); McKinney v. Carey, 311 F.3d 1198, 1199 (9th Cir. 2002) (per curiam).
The district court properly denied his motion for reconsideration because Pleasant did not present adequate grounds for relief. See Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah County v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262-64 (1993).
We express no opinion on the merits of Pleasant’s claims should he choose to refile.
AFFIRMED.
