MEMORANDUM **

*780 Sylvester James Mahone, a Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in favor of defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging violations of his First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Toguchi v. Chung, 391 F.3d 1051, 1056 (9th Cir. 2004), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Mahone’s access to courts claim because Mahone failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether legal mail rules frustrated his ability to pursue a non-frivolous legal claim. See Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 352-53, 116 S.Ct. 2174, 135 L.Ed.2d 606 (1996).

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Mahone’s retaliation claim because Mahone failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the allegedly retaliatory conduct was unrelated to legitimate penological goals. See Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 815-16 (9th Cir. 1994) (per curiam).

Mahone’s remaining contentions are not persuasive.

AFFIRMED.
