MEMORANDUM **

Arlen Lee Lopez, a Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various constitutional violations in connection with his placement in administrative segregation while a pretrial detainee. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Gibson v. County of Washoe, Nev., 290 F.3d 1175, 1180 (9th Cir. 2002), and we affirm.

*808 The district court properly granted summary judgment on Lopez’s claim that his placement in administrative segregation violated his constitutional rights because defendants expressed legitimate security needs and Lopez has not adduced any evidence indicating an intent to punish him. See Bell v. Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520, 538-39, 99 S.Ct. 1861, 60 L.Ed.2d 447 (1979) (“Absent a showing of an expressed intent to punish on the part of detention facility officials ... if a particular condition or restriction of pretrial detention is reasonably related to a legitimate governmental objective, it does not, without more, amount to ‘punishment.’” (internal citations omitted)).

The district court properly dismissed Lopez’s claim alleging denial of access to the courts because a judgment in Lopez’s favor would necessarily imply the invalidity of his conviction. See Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 486-87, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994).

Lopez’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

Lopez’s motion to expedite is denied as moot.

AFFIRMED.
