MEMORANDUM **

Genghis Khan A. Stevenson, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that correctional officers used excessive force against him. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Childress v. Darby Lumber, Inc., 357 F.3d 1000, 1009 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.

Stevenson contends that the district court abused its discretion by entering summary judgment before he had adequate time to conduct discovery. There was no abuse of discretion because Stevenson did not seek a continuance under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(f), and because the district court granted Stevenson’s motions for additional time to file his *98 opposition and his objections. See Fed. R.Civ.P. 56(f); Foti v. City of Menlo Park, 146 F.3d 629, 638 (9th Cir. 1998) (courts of appeal generally do not consider an issue not addressed in district court).

Stevenson’s contention that the district court abused its discretion by not considering evidence, first submitted in his objections to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendations, is also unpersuasive. See United States v. Howell, 231 F.3d 615, 621 (9th Cir. 2000) (“[W]e conclude that a district court has discretion, but is not required, to consider evidence presented for the first time in a party’s objection to a magistrate judge’s recommendation.”). Moreover, the record reflects that the district court reviewed Stevenson’s objections and the evidence attached thereto.

Stevenson’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
