MEMORANDUM ***

Patrick Williams, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional violations. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court’s dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A for failure to state a claim, Hamilton v. Brown, 630 F.3d 889, 892 (9th Cir. 2011), and we affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Williams’s claims alleging deliberate indifference to health and safety because Williams did not allege facts showing that defendants acted with deliberate indifference regarding any deprivation of medical care or unsafe conditions of confinement. See Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 847, 114 S.Ct. 1970, 128 L.Ed.2d 811 (1994).

The district court properly dismissed Williams’s due process claims relating to his confinement in administrative segregation because absent an allegation of atypical and significant hardship, such confinement does not implicate a constitutionally protected liberty interest. See Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472, 486, 115 S.Ct. 2293, 132 L.Ed.2d 418 (1995).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Williams’s request for appointment of counsel because Williams failed to show exceptional circumstances. See Palmer v. Valdez, 560 F.3d 965, 970 (9th Cir. 2009) (describing exceptional circumstances).

Williams’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
